lyrics

Permission granted 2016
At 853 Chorley Old Road
Three years till the works began
22 raising concerns
Bigger than the original plans
Now they can't see the sky

Notice served
Unauthorised - the terms they have been breached
Not in line
With what the city gave permission for

Using blue instead of red bricks
A dormer room and a balcony
This wasn't meant to be

Notice served
Dismantle this - we'll give you 90 days
This build
Is not in keeping with the area's
Appearance or character

Tear it down
Tear it down, down, down, down
Tear it down
Tear it down
No more revisions
We stand by our decision
Just knock it down and you can start it again
Tear it down
Down, down, down, down, down
By order of the city

A retrospective application
Rejected by the council again
Demolition must begin

Notice served
You can't just build anything you want
Who do you . . .
Who d'you think you are to ignore our building control policies?
Don't mess with Bolton Council

Tear it down
Tear it down, down, down, down
Tear it down
Tear it down
No more revisions
We stand by our decision
Just knock it down and you can start it again
Tear it down
Down, down, down, down, down
By order of the city
