A morning to reflect and
savour - dismiss death cults for what they are; the weakness of cowards who fear life.
The long-playing album
'The Liberty of Norton Folgate' by the band Madness to be played, loud.
My brother Andrew and I walked down to the Thames at Wapping the other week, looked down at the churning, brown, unlovely waters. Took a pint between Eastern and Western horizons.
A hangman's noose drifted in the breeze and it was a little cold.

"We Are London"
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
From Regent's Park mosque on to Baker
Street
Down to the Cross where all the
pipesmoke neat
To Somerstown where somethings never
stop
The Roundhouse, The Marathon Bar and
Camden Lock
You can make it your own hell or heaven
Live as you please
Can we make it if we all live together
As one big family?
Down to Chinatown for duck and rice
Along Old Compton Street, the boys are
nice
On Carnaby you still can get the threads
If you wanna be a mod, a punk, a ted or
a suedehead
You can make it your own hell or heaven
Live as you please
Can we make it if we all live together
As one big family?
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, we are
London
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, London's
talking
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, we are
London
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, London
walking
In all the nightclubs, strip joints and
the bars
From it's poorest paid to it's highest
stars
The poets, plumbers, painters, spreads
and sparks
From it's inner city to it's furthest
parts
You can make it your own hell or heaven
Live as you please
Can we make it if we all live together
As one big family?
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, we are
London
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, London's
talking
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, we are
London
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, London
walking
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
