(colin moulding)<br><br>Save us from the ball and chain,<br>Save us from the ball and chain,<br>Save us from the ball and chain,<br>Oh yeah,<br>The diggers and the tower cranes,<br>The diggers and the tower cranes.<br><br>Don't want demolition,<br>Don't want your compensation,<br>It's not just bricks and mortar,<br>We are lambs to slaughter.<br><br>Save us from the ball and chain,<br>Save us from the ball and chain,<br>Save us from the ball and chain,<br>Oh yeah,<br>The diggers and the tower cranes,<br>The diggers and the tower cranes.<br><br>Must we live in fear,<br>From those who shed no tears? <br>Our one and only shelter,<br>Your games, your helter skelter.<br><br>Motorways and office blocks,<br>They're standing on the spot<br>Where stood a home,<br>Crushing on the memories of people,<br>Who have since turned to stone.<br>(ahh)<br>They've turned to stone,<br>(ahh)<br>They've turned to stone.<br><br>Save us from the ball and chain,<br>Save us from the ball and chain,<br>Save us from the ball and chain,<br>Oh yeah,<br>The diggers and the tower cranes,<br>The diggers and the tower cranes.
