The Beeching Report Lyrics & Chords By I Like Trains

Is this the price we pay for progress?
Taking one step forwards for every six we take back
Does your dirty oil-stained money make you happy
Do you just want to be remembered?
Book your place in history, you will be
Reform, reform
Oh, you are taking apart
What we made
With our hands and our hearts
Our hands and our hearts
Are not just tools to ply your trade
They're ours to live our lives
And you're taking them away
So feel free to wrap your hands around my neck
I feel free to do the same
Feel free, surround your hands around our necks
Feel free to do the same
Reform, reform
Oh, you are taking apart
What we made
With our hands and our hearts
Mr. Beeching, I put it to you
(Reform, reform)
You’re driving a stake straight through
(Oh, you are taking apart)
The heart
(What we made)
Of this green and pleasant land
(With our hands and our hearts)
Further to this
(Reform, reform)
There's nothing you would rather [Incomprehensible]
(Oh, you are taking apart)
Runs around that stake into
(What we made)
A chance
(With our hands and our hearts)
Reform, reform
Oh, you are taking apart
What we made
With our hands and our hearts
