Negative equity could be the new kid on the block
\nIan put his finger on it maybe its the shock
\nThat hits the time starved southerners
\nWhen unconventional oil
\nComes knocking with its drills and rigs
\nUpon this mortal coil<\/p>\n
The philosophy of existence
\nWhat is actuality
\nThe beautiful British countryside
\nIts materiality
\nThe bedrock that we think of
\nThe sum and substance there
\nInvaded by the corporates
\nWho really do not care<\/p>\n
To them its really nothingness
\nWiped out maybe so
\nTheir mansions they are far away
\nIn a golden glow
\nHere there is a hollowness
\nA place where there is shale
\nThe energy the balance sheet
\nEach barrels cost
\nDoth sail<\/p>\n
Forth into a margin that brings
\nAn avid smile
\nBack into the boardroom
\nIts not been there for a while
\nThe forties pipe the cold snap
\nIts Going the right way
\nAnd some of those long haired protectors
\nMay feel they have had their day<\/p>\n
Jim Ratcliffe will be laughing
\nIt seems he has got it made
\nHe is certainly stacking up the dosh
\nAnd it won’t be the lemonade
\nHe is quashing at the midnight hour
\nBut Dom Perignon For he
\nFeels a jolly good fellow
\nAs I am sure some will agree<\/p>\n
Jack frost is set to help him
\nAnd Its great geology
\nAcid fracks will do it
\nSo much disharmony
\nBreaking up the fissures
\nPumping in the slick
\nFracturing the ancient shale
\nThey do not miss a trick<\/p>\n
And they will remain the master
\nEroding all the wealth
\nAny of us thought we had
\nThey now will take by stealth
\nCreate the work of chaos
\nAnd disunion abroad
\nAnd watch us as we stumble
\nWithout our true reward<\/p>\n
With our countryside beginning
\nTo rupture and to be
\nBroken torn and shattered
\nBy the finality
\nThe end game as our aquifers
\nAre opened and we see
\nAnd taste the taint of ugliness
\nWhere ever it will be<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
