In Spratton where I grew up, there was a large percentage of people who would constantly bitch about everything to do with the place, but the second anything happened to change the place, they'd bitch that it shouldn't be changed. This song is inspired by, and dedicated to, those poor eternally unhappy souls
lyrics
It's no good living round here son but damn it better not change
It's no good living round here son but damn it better not change
While it may be crap I don't want crap rearranged
It's no good living round here son but damn it better not change
I don't to the pub no and I won't go to the club
You know I'm gonna complain when they concentrate on grub
I go there once a year to buy myself a single beer
But don't you ever change it, it is the village hub
Don't you change our pub, no
Chorus
Chris he owns the butchers, and Simon owns the store
They both charge more than Tesco so I don't shop their no more
I work hard for my pay I don't wanna pay no more no way
Everyone else said the same now we got no store no more
How dare they close our store, oh
