lyrics

I used to walk
On my way to school
I’d walk across Hackney Downs
Singing Endlessly

I remember
How people lost their homes
Moved around
caught between identities


Now Coffee shops £6 a cup attract a different crowd
A conscious act that soon impacts the council’s disavowal

If I ask you one thing
Will you, Consider This?

Does it feel abrupt?
When council flats becomes mixed income homes
Like their money and class will trickle down

Properties left empty while their owners are abroad
Mean, high rise flats that no one here
would ever dream to afford

I guess government cuts mean no leisure for the poor
While the rhetoric from leadership tells us we can have it all!

If I ask you one thing,
Will you, Consider This?
