The Other Song
You are listening to the sounds of chaos
Travelling from Devizes to Upavon
On the A342
One encounters a monument on the slopes
Of Etchilhampton Hill
Where a minor road turns off towards
The village of Etchilhampton
It commemorates James Long
Of Urchfont
Who in 1768
Promoted a new road
From Nursteed in Devizes
To Lydeway in Urchfont
The gradient on the existing road
Turnpiked under the first Wiltshite Turnpike act of 1707
For the Devizes to Upavon road
Had proved too steep
Being on the higher slopes
Of Etchilhampton Hill
The road of 1768
Remains as part of the main road in use today
I left my heart on Etchilhampton Hill
Under a badger's nest
I left my heart on Etchilhampton Hill
It made a mess
Travelling from Devizes to Upavon
On the A342
One encounters a monument on the slopes
Of Etchilhampton Hill
Where a minor road turns off towards
The village of Etchilhampton
It commemorates James Long
Of Urchfont
Who in 1768
Promoted a new road
From Nursteed in Devizes
To Lydeway in Urchfont
The gradient on the existing road
Turnpiked under the first Wiltshite Turnpike act of 1707
For the Devizes to Upavon road
Had proved too steep
Being on the higher slopes
Of Etchilhampton Hill
The road of 1768
Remains as part of the main road in use today
I left my heart on Etchilhampton Hill
Under a badger's nest
I left my heart on Etchilhampton Hill
It made a mess
