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
