Barkers for Parker's

If there is something beautiful in the offing let us applaud but how fit is it, to the purpose of replacing this?

More usually we know the order of events.. Dereliction, neglect, demolition and then a car park for ten years until the economic climate improves... Surely there is a better way to manage old buildings?

All you guitar players
like myself you may be blinded by the sight
of rosewood backs and sides
but remember
it's a crime

Two hundred thousand years we have waited for this moment
The decision is entirely ours
Do we continue the journey of our self discovery
Or are we throwing in the towel?

Twice one hundred thousand summers
adapting all our wiles
to nature and to nurture
to pillage and despoil

When our global village wonders
who has put the lights out
till your garden lightly
think about the bees
