Ghost Town

The other day I was walking past ironmonger row When I noticed boarded up, every shop window I dare say they will be sold or knocked down too This town just seems a contrast of old with new Why destroy every land mark like the old fire station Why not build a theme park or more commendation Where’s the green belt and where are all those trees I just felt I should mention all that’s left is memories I remember Owen and Owens before it became alders And now yeah they have changed the place yet again Dose anyone remember that little shop called ralffers Well yeah I know, everyone says that was all back then They can change the city but not the views of the people The only place that retains it's history, is the old cathedral And what dose Coventry mean to me?, like most I just frown Well nothing really, like everyone says it's just a ghost town Inspierd by conversation with someone in libray Short and sweet just something else to write about a time pROBABLY SOUNDS ABIT CYINICAL BUT BEING HONEST COVENTRY DID HAS SOME GOOD POINTS BUT NOW ITS FADED AWAY this was apost to be entered in to a a small compotision back in sept 2009 but missed dead line unsure of subject matter at time
