In the current, we be sailin'
Makin’ way for the settin' sun
No care for where we goin'
No thought for what we done

She be the star to guide me
She be my mornin’ sun
She be there to greet me
When my life be done

past Rock City we carry the fire!
to the ring; where Führer fights a frail foe!
to conceal what burns at 4 5 1–dire
Big Brother won't notice our hearts aglow
"Understanding: allow their point of view
walk around in their skin; folks are just folks"
Watch the merry-go-round go 'round a few
"More Weight," says Giles, but a witch? deadly hoax
The One Ring finally reaches Mordor
Kings are justly crowned, Bingley marries Jane
The Old Man caught the fish, or so he swore
but Dad, Liesel, Allie, Winston are slain
journeys are sacrificial, lives immured
Cheers to pilgrimage we haven't endured
Special thanks to: The Road, The Book Theif, Fahrenheit 451, 1984, To **** a Mockingbird, Catcher in the Rye, The Crucible, The Lord of the Rings, Pride and Predjudice, Old Man and the Sea

Books teach us much, but at the cost of the eternal pain of their characters
No barons down in Earls court and no Surrey in the quays
the underground's a mess if names are things that please
in Raynors lane there's rain again
in Catford there are mice
in Epping it is epic and I think that's awful nice,
In Battersea there is no sea
in Clapham they don't clap
at shooters hill they don't shoot guns
and Network East's a trap.

In Stepney there are several steps
in deptford they sink under debts
nothing gets me on my way than to pass through Green lanes, Harringay, now I don't know many gays down there but I'm friends with some
up in Sloane square
no Knights in Knightsbridge anymore
no Kings at Kingly court
Bradford's not in Bingley either
neither here nor there nor in Trafalgar Square will you see any ships

But the underground's a fabulous place for going out on trips.

B&B
While we are on the subject
of Bread and Butter, permit
me to remind any foreigners
who intend to holiday in UK.

B&B is not bed and breakfast.

It is Bradford and Bingley, a
building society, but not for
recruiting Irish navies.
