Picture now a village green - graceful swans owned by the Queen
Maypole where the dancers dance - whirl & twirl in mystic trance
England how it used to be - long before the SUV
Motor cars have brought us hell - Nostradamus did foretell
Chorus:
Carmageddon - Carmageddon - that’s the way - world is headin’
Hope & pray - what I’m dreadin’ - stays away - Carmageddon
Winds would blow the waving corn - cocks would crow to greet the dawn
Life was slow but oh so sweet - days when only birds could tweet Now the world’s a carbon tomb - choking us with tail-pipe fume
Beam me up please Scotty do - time I were awa the noo
Chorus:
Once there was a wayside Inn - where the fiddles scraped within
Music now comes from the sky - brought to us by Spotify
Bring me back that rustic track - sound of leather willow crack
And those poets now long gone - Shelley, Keats & Byron-ron
