Heathrow
everywhere we look aloft
see pollution from aircraft
more and more and year on year
poisoning our atmosphere
see ribbons of yellow hue
criss-crossing in the blue
from New York to Heathrow
three thousand mile to go
eight hour flight and then return
forty thousand gallon burn
fossil carbon see-o-two
dump the lot into the blue
third runway for Heathrow
will be another blow
we carry on regardless
and say this is progress
see ribbons of yellow hue
criss-crossing in the blue
