I walked down by the river where we used to go And underneath the bridge where we first kissed The old town that we knew is dead and gone Gone The sickly sun shines grayly through the mist And like the love we used to know The poisoned river waters flow And then they're gone For some of us still life moves on Our love is just a relic of the past You'd never recognise the old town now Somewhere behind the concrete and the glass The monuments of England's sacred cow Where are all the human beings? Have they been sent to Milton Keynes? They used to live round here but now they're gone For some of us still life moves on
