This is a page dedicated to the fight against the plans to demolish the Queen Caroline Estate in Hammersmith London.
This is a page dedicated to the fight to save the Queen Caroline Estate in Hammersmith, London from demolition. In short, the council want to demolish the estate and re-develop the site with possible relocation for current residents to another part of London. See here for the full story - Although this cycle of songs was inspired by the QC fight it equally applies to the disenfranchised, dispossessed and powerless across the world. Each song is written from the point of view of those involved in the struggle or simply affected by the proposals in whatever way. There are (or will be) songs for The organisers of the protest group The politicians from all sides The developers who will build luxury flats after the estate is demolished The buyers of those flats The demolition men The shopkeeper The Lollipop lady The residents who want to go The residents who don't The newspaper reporters

Lyrics
© Dick Langford 2013 Sometimes the nights seem endless and morning is an eternity away The fires in my brain die slowly as I wait to start another day I moved here as a young man It was clean and new and safe And I know it's changed now but I still love this place Chorus I hear rumours, I hear scandal, I hear truth and I hear lies but it's nothing I can't handle it's the council I despise I've fought the Nazis at Milano I was there when Berlin fell And I hope that in the next life I'll see this lot go to hell I have to live with memories that would drive those bastards mad They talk about the greater good more like the greater bad
