Hussa!
Pop a bit of shag in your pipe old thing, and watch it gently
waft away while my songs
take you out on a spree in Perfect London.
It's a London of your dreams, somewhat gaslit, yet modern. Pastoral yet subliminally
violent. From my Bachelor Chambers just behind the Albany, we sally forth taking in
gaming rooms, nighthouses and such on our ramble through the town. We'll bump into
the Fancy Man as he is decanted from such an establishment, grinning tykishly,
his purse a-bulging. We'll encounter Imogen, our Miss Lonely Heart and be overwhelmed
by Legs Eleven, the ravishing redhead that got away. From a doorway emerges
Mary Millington arm-in-arm with Jacqui Bisset, but they can't stop - they're 'going on
somewhere'. On the dancefloor of a jaunty little dinner-dance venue, we'll become
irresitably attracted to one another. I'm afraid I find you quite Magnetic. Soon, tiring
of the bright lights and noise of this throbbing dynamo, we crave a little private warmth.
We stand on a corner and try to flag a hansome cab, which passes my
unacknowledged
raised hand at great speed carrying a drooling, leaking figure
of a man home to Pimlico.
It is none but poor Percy Crush, a charlatan for
whom Ev'ry Day is the Weekend.
Eventually, we arrive back at my Bachelor Chambers slightly raddled
and expire to the
sumptuous sounds of Arabella (2.4mb),
one of the songs offered here as a download.
I do hope you enjoy our romp together. I shall mention it in my memoirs.
