Pull The Damn Thing Down - John Miles

作曲：Robert Marshall/John Miles

Pull the damn thing down

We're gonna build a highway

And either side we'll beautify

With concrete reaching to the sky

Pull the damn thing down

Soon you won't remember

As all the people turn their backs

On cobbled stones and chimney stacks

Pull the damn thing down

They're gonna pull his house down

They say that it's a slum

No thought for peoples feelings

'Cause progress has to come

The home he's had for sixty years

Is standing in their way

So they'll find an institution

Where he'll spend his lonely days

Pull the damn thing down

We're gonna build a highway

And I decide we'll beautify

With concrete reaching to the sky

Pull the damn thing down

Soon you won't remember

As all the people turn their backs

On cobbled stones and chimney stacks

Pull the damn thing down

He's back home for the first time

In nearly twenty years

With money and position

And wife in mink and furs

Places that he used to know

Before he broke the ties

Are all multi-storey car parks

And he can't believe his eyes

Pull the damn thing down

We're gonna build a highway

And I decide we'll beautify

With concrete reaching to the sky

Pull the damn thing down

Soon you won't remember

As all the people turn their backs

On cobbled stones and chimney stacks

Pull the damn thing down

People don't want changes

To keep up with the times

Secure in their surroundings

And leading quiet lives

And then the man from London town

Decides to rearrange

And the place that they remember

Will just never be the same

Pull the damn thing down

We're gonna build a highway

And I decide we'll beautify

With concrete reaching to the sky

Pull the damn thing down

Soon you won't remember

As all the people turn their backs

On cobbled stones and chimney stacks

Pull the damn thing down
