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
There's somewhere that I need to be But f*** that car in front of me Why can't the road be clear and free When I just want to drive Petrol's going through the roof And if you want the honest truth I'd sell my soul for endless juice When I just want to drive Oh oh I hear that things are going to change Oh oh The estate will get a different name Oh oh But I bet the traffic's just the same Everyone is in my way When I just want to drive They'll be digging up the road again More misery for motoring men oh It's the same old story then When I just want to drive A mate of mine is leaving here He's going east (says cheaper beer) Cheaper petrol gives me cheer When I just want to drive
