Here we are in Leamington Spa
N-I-M-B-Y
Don’t like music don’t like art
N-I-M-B-Y
Don’t like travellers stopping by
N-I-M-B-Y
Got to keep house prices house
N-I-M-B-Y

Not in my back not in my back
Not in my back – my back yard
Not in my back not in my back
Not in my back – my back yard

My world is closed my world is dead
N-I-M-B-Y
All my records come from Head
N-I-M-B-Y
Local independents great
N-I-M-B-Y
So long as it’s not near my gate
N-I-M-B-Y

Not in my back not in my back
Not in my back – my back yard
Not in my back not in my back
Not in my back – my back yard

I like my public spending lean
N-I-M-B-Y
I love the flowerbed rescue team
N-I-M-B-Y
So fuck musicians fuck the poor
N-I-M-B-Y
Keep those scroungers from my door
N-I-M-B-Y

Not in my back not in my back
Not in my back – my back yard
Not in my back not in my back
Not in my back – my back yard
Not in my back not in my back
Not in my back – my back yard
Not in my back not in my back
Not in my back – my back yard

Emergency Flowerbed Rescue Team

“Head” is a local music store which likes to make a big deal about promoting itself as “proudly independent”, but has ambitions to be the “next HMV” and refuses to engage with the local music scene.
