Parody of "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley.

Never Gonna Fix You Up

A parody of "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley, dedicated to the City of Hamilton.

We're no strangers to red tape  
I don't know the rules and neither do you  
A big investment's what I'd like to make  
You'd rather let it go down the tube

I just wanna tell you how frustrating  
It is when you don't understand

Never gonna build this up  
Always gotta tear things down  
Making room to drive around without stopping  
Never gonna shrink this lane  
Never gonna take the blame  
Never gonna stop the demo man from chopping

I've sought this permit for so long  
My wallet's empty but you're not shy to shake it  
Inside we both know this is just so wrong  
We know the game and I'm too broke to play it

Though you never ask me how I'm feeling  
I hope my frustration's clear to see

Never gonna build this up  
Always gotta tear things down  
Making room to drive around without stopping  
Never gonna shrink this lane  
Never gonna take the blame  
Never gonna stop the demo man from chopping

This setback is a setback  
You still insist on this parking requirement  
Your cash in lieu will break my back  
This isn't good for the urban environment

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling  
Even though you don't understand  

...by way of a response to this tweet.
