    Story Behind the Song
    We all share a sense of loss when we see good parts of our society eroded and replaced by the bland offerings of the corporate empires. Too, we share a sense of infuriation when change for the worse is touted as an improvement. Added to this, Brian is hopelessly nostalgic.

    Lyrics
    No more busses no more trains
    Just convenience stores; half an hour's drive away
    Competition's healthy; none remains,
    A generation's loss, a corporation's gain

    Chorus
    Why do the good times fade away?


    By the time they're missed it's all to late
    Why do old heroes pass away?
    Why do some things never change?

    Get rich quick, the latest scheme
    Greater choice; more the same
    Tell me; who wants a job for life?
    Thatcher lived, Morecambe died.

    chorus

    Temporary workers lowley paid
    Wages subsidised by the Welfare State.
    The Public Private Partnership;
    Servcices. For whose benefit?

    Chorus
