Portland bill, Portland bill he was a friend of mine
But then he choked on the smoke
More bitter than a lemon rind
So we stand along the shore
Yes we stand in line
Because we don't want them to kill our bill
We're keeping him in mind
Portland Bill, Portland Bill
Walking around your town
All I see Are faces
A lot of them look down
They say we don't want no dump trucks here
Grinding up our minds
With their drills and tyres whirring
With their hammer thumps in time
They say Portland Bill, Portland Bill
He was a friend of mine
They say the council turned them down
So the company appealed
Bitter as a lemon rind
Sore losers for the underdogs
But it's big money
Sways the mind
Giving them security
Strangling
The voices of the kind
Because Portland Bill, oh Portland Bill
He was a friend of mine
