Living in lies by the railway line
Pushing the hair from my eyes
Elvis is English and climbs the hills
Can’t tell the bullshit from the liesScreaming along in South London
Vicious but ready to learn
Sometimes I fear that the whole world is queer
Sometimes but always in vainSo I’ll wait until we’re sane
Wait until we’re blessed and all the same
Full of blood, loving life and all it’s got to give
Englishmen going insaneDown on my knees in Suburbia
Down on myself in every wayWith great expectations I change all my clothes
Mustn’t grumble at silver and gold
Screaming above Central London
Never bored, so I’ll never get oldSo I’ll wait until we’re sane
Wait until we’re blessed and all the same
Full of blood, loving life and all it’s got to give
Englishmen going insaneDown on my knees in suburbia
Down on myself in every wayDay after, day after day, day after
Zane, Zane, Zane, Ouvre le chien
Day after day, day after
Zane, Zane, Zane, Ouvre le chien
Day after

My friend & neighbours jam caught the eye
as bubbles give a sense of motion until frozen or jellied in a jam! The light & colour flashed in the eye.

Another station, cleverly attaching its concourse on to the side of the building losing no space inside and putting taxis ranks and drop off points underneath. On a spring morning looking as organic as intended – a beautiful space probably not thought off any more by the commuter.

Modern tate gallery once a power station, presents a massive stage for installations & large sculpture. But the building itself holds attention, I often wish they had left one of the huge generators in this energy cathedral.
Beware, I have pulverized the new Shard building with a compass coverage, on its way if this hot weather doesn’t interfere.
Happy new year to my online connections, followers, those I follow, online friends – hope holidays gave you the break to relax or enjoy.
