about

This song is about a farm that is between the two carriages of the M62 between Huddersfield and Manchester.

Legend has it that the farmer refused to leave the farm when the road was being built in the 1960's so the road was constructed around the premises.

This is a myth as the terrain that the farm sits on is too difficult to build on due to the gradient of the land.

Even so I thought it was a great story so wrote a song which is a psychological battle between the farmer and the head of the construction team.

lyrics

You have come and started a war inside me head for my home
All is set so let's play mind games between ourselves
There's no one else for miles around
Set in the heart of the rolling moors plans are set to reshape the land
Have you thought or even considered if i refuse and make my own demands?

There's no negotiation or debate
Just build around me

In the seventh year of construction I see bodies work on the horizon
I've had a taste of what's to come here
But not till a thousand faces are screaming daily past my door

There's no negotiation or debate
Just build around me
