“You'd never think, to look at
you'd never think to look at
that building there, is where there
used to be trees.
You'd never think it, would you?
You'd never think it, would you?
That building there is where there
used to be trees.
That building there is where there...
That building there is where there..
That building there is where there...
used to be fields.”

Gilbert O'Sullivan (1946) Irish singer-songwriter
