about

A song inspired by the knocking down of 'the Medders' in Notthingham. The old 'slums' were replaced by the new estate. Not all progress is positive.

Written by Williamson/Iliffe/Headland.

Performance by Luke Williamson (acoustic guitar/vocals/backing vocals/percussion), Paul Iliffe (lead guitar/backing vocals), Luke Headland (bass/piano) and Paul Hobbs (drums).

Recorded, engineered and mixed by The Mariners with the exception of the drums and bass recorded and engineered by Andy Gurski at Aspect Studios, Loughborough.

from The Tides Of Time (Album), released June 26, 2020
Do you remember back in the day?
We'd go out we always had a lot to say
We'd have a drink and see a band then have a fight
We only did it cos the music was not right

They came to knock it down
Knock it down to the ground
They said all of you are gonna have too move
It's not fit for use

Love was just another word to say
Because we thought we'd get our end away
With the girl that lived next door or down the road
On the wintery nights when it was cowd'

They came to knock it down
Knock it down to the ground
They said all of you are gonna have too move
It's not fit for use

They wanted to drive us out
We all wanted to stay
Knocking down our houses was never the way

With the old place gone they built a new estate
It's not like when we were young it's not that great
We settle down and have a kid, another one
And I sound like my old man before long

They came to knock us down
Knock us down to the ground
They said all of you are gonna have too move
It's not fit for use
It's not fit for use
It's not fit for use
