It's All Change At Crewe

It's all change at Crewe
Rollermakers flattened while riding Crewe's roller-coaster 
The tea factory now shipping booze to the nation 
chester barrie  gone from cutting suits and is now selling flowers 
British rail once built the engines and his now a train garage.
Rolls Royce a national treasure now owned by another nations car maker 
its all change at Crewe 
Crewe's university campus now educates the masses 
That other nations car maker now makes Bentleys for the rich and famous
New businesses selling ice cream vans to gadget insurance 
New medical centres and schools to be proud of
Queens park rescued from closure 
it's all change at Crewe.

Several years ago I stood in the rain, on the side of a little road just on the outskirts of Bognor Regis, watching a new bypass cutting a swathe through green and verdant wetlands at the foot of the South Downs...I marvelled at the size of the new building being built close to my side of the new flyover bridge. It was the new Rolls-Royce factory...I drove past it two days ago. Very sad...And very poignant! My very best regards, Stephen. :) john
