From street corners
to apartment blocks
terraced houses
and parking lots
My mother's living room
to council flats
park benches
past fenced entrenched entrances

It follows me
and it finds me
cause it loves me

I'm a road works goddess
and wherever I go I hear it
bang bang bang

I travel to the country
and sit under a tree
feel all of my worries
fall from me
but before long
it comes along
bulldozers building a mountain behind me

I escape to the sea
and settle on sand
I walk to the water
and wash my hands of sound
but not long after
there's trucks and a concrete mixer
building a canal behind me
