Crich

Crich was around in 1066
a cute little village
But there’s been a hitch
Rolls Royce at Hilts Quarry
Decided that they
Would accept radiation
from Raynesway
Nuclear reactor cores
from submarines
The Royal Navy’s shit
from their bloody machines
Put in foundry sand
Just 2 metres deep
In unlined, fissured limestone
Which just makes me weep

Whats the Gov’t thinking
to do to us all
Corporates arn’t happy
Till our backs to the wall
The Gov’t licenses this kind of muck
Carbon,Uranium and Cobalt what luck!
And it then all ran out when they decided that they
Would take Nuclear waste yea comewhat may
Enriched Uranium straight out of hell
With a 500.000 year 1/2 life to tell
Any community where people live
That their dumping such shit to me is to give
A death wish and Crich did not deserve this
Someone high up is taking the piss
Or they don’t understand the risks that abound
Lying in foundry sand under the ground
Rolls Royce I always thought of, as best
But learning about this that story does test
My patience, my life long respect for them all
What of generations what will be their call
500,000 years that is forever
And to bury it here is not very clever
Infact it shows poor judgement sick even and
Something I really just can’t understand
There’s carbon and cobalt and its around
In the water and gardens it has been found
A quarry in Derbyshire accepting for years
Nuclear waste heightens the fears
of residents surely and they don’t get a say
I reckon the safest thing is to move away
But don’t go to Drigg in Cumbria where
When Hilts Quarry s full it will be going there

(Those people wanting nuclear power I suggest put their names down to have some of the waste buried in their own gardens)
