lyrics

Not in my backyard – not in my backyard
No no no no no no no not in my backyard

The country’s short of houses, everybody knows
So new estates are needed, everywhere you go
We’re on board with the plans of course
But that’s just a façade
If we say no no no no no no no, not in my backyard
Not in my backyard – not in my backyard
No no no no no no no not in my backyard

Now fracking is contentious, and protesters make a noise
But Cameron he tells us, it’s something to enjoy
We want the gas, but we don’t want the landscape to be scarred
So we say
Not in my backyard – not in my backyard
No no no no no no no not in my backyard

Not in my backyard, not in my backyard
I know all the arguments – I give them my support
But not in my backyard

They talk about new airports and some say it’s a must
But when it comes to building them, we hope they’re not near us
We play the game of progress but that’s just a charade
As we say
Not in my backyard – not in my backyard
No no no no no no no not in my backyard

The planets getting warmer, and clean energy’s a must
And windmill’s play a part in that, with every little gust
You may think I’m a hypocrite
Oh gosh it’s really hard
But windmills, no no no no no, not in my backyard

Not in my backyard, not in my backyard
I know all the arguments – I give them my support
But not in my backyard
