From the recording Demolition Blues
Lyrics
Plan it, Build it, demolish repeat,
That's how they do it on Sydney's streets
Put hoardings with photos from last century
Reminders of how grand buildings should be
---------------------
They want crisp & concrete, Sharp & exposed
Til moderns not modern and then it must go
Build it, you love it, the jewel in the crown,
50 years later, let's knock it down
-----------------
Six months later the hoarding comes down
Another new eyesore high on the land
--------------------
Lay down, rip up, relay and repeat
over and over / on Sydney's streets
new modern old modern one and the same
disposable buildings that's the new game
--------------------
New modern old modern, quick and it's cheap
Turn a new face, for the new century
Fifty years later you'll want it all back
another new modern, puts us off track
Hoardings go up, the building comes down
No time like the present turn it around
