MANCHESTER CHAOS

MANCHESTER CHAOS

It’s chaos in Manchester
At the moment
It’s been going on for weeks
As they tear up the streets
Everywhere

It’s absolute bedlam
At the moment
It has been for months
There’s roadworks
Everywhere

It’s completely horrific
At the moment
Two and a half hours to do
A seven-mile journey -
Ended up walking

It’s an utter nightmare
At the moment
The journey to Piccadilly
From the University
Every night

It’s just terrifying
At the moment
Without pavements
Hopping into the road
All the time

It’s totally ridiculous
At the moment
Yesterday I counted
Twenty-five buses
Stuck on Oxford Road

It’s chaos in Manchester
At the moment
It’s been going on forever
Twenty-five buses
Stuck on Oxford Road…!

  1. Traffics a bit bad then? We have a similar problem in Bodmin. They have closed off the town centre to all traffic, including the only car park in the area so no one can get to the shops! They are doing one of those everyone has right of way systems like near Boynton. Complete madness, so I feel your pain!!!
