Ode to Moor Lane Island

Just for fun, but underlying a serious point….

Sing along to the tune of “Islands in the Stream”

Verse:
Moor Lane, when I saw you there was peace unknown
I set out to live there,
It would be my home,
I was happy inside, but was something goin on?

Surrey removes the island and I feel ignored
Access required? I feel so sure
All these things on the lane
There IS something going on!

Surrey is blind, it needs no consultation
All this island removal – we require an explanation
We’ll raise it together, ah-ah
From one neighbour to another, ah-ah

Chorus:
Island in the road
That is was what you were
Now nothing in-between
How can this be right?

Complain away with me
To the Surrey board
And we’ll restore it together, ah-ah
One neighbour to another, ah-ah

Verse:
I cant live without you now that you are gone
Now the island is nothin and they tell no one
While Surrey digs in the night
We are gearing up for a real fight

This wont happen to us and Ive got no doubt
Committed one together, we find a way out
And the message is clear
Put the island back, this is our clear steer.

No more will you try
To change our lane, oh never
We start and end as one, in concert together
We can do this together, ah-ah
Respecting our wishes forever, ah-ah

Chorus:
Island in the road
That is what you are
Now something in-between
How can this be wrong?

Complained away with me
To the Surrey board
And we restored it together, ah-ah
One neighbour to another, ah-ah

Enjoy!
