30 cities, and none of them big but altogether, they're one big metropolis Millions of people, but we think that we're small we say: ''just act normal that's crazy enough after all'' So when we need buildings, bridges and tunnels houses and motorways it shouldn't be striking so this is what we say: Please not too big and not too tall we like it flat and small with many trees or we build walls in fact, we don't like things to change at all We have this system where everyone can give his opinion about every vision or plan We call it poldering, some say it's not wise cause all that has colour leads to grey compromise |
So goodbye to ambition and daring big visions hello to the complex game that will take ages to let it all look the same Please not too big ... but during the past few months I noticed something strange there were many big new plans and no complaints are we waking up? are there some changes made? do we connect ourselves to the world or do we fade? Please not too big (just keep it modest, we are calvinists) ...bb |
