London today

Into the lead spin
broken bottles and knives appear
locked by electric sparks
that bring you back to life
over the once  warren where rabbits roamed
we go shoplifting in London so fare
The Police turn a blind eye
Its maud parlez vous Francais
Into the dark where English is not heard
London spins
the serpents of the Thames are half lionized
Who needs  excuses
into the grim
where the exposed suburbs are sullied
