Parklife- Blur
(London)


OOYY!!

Confidence is a preference
For the habitual voyeur
Of what is known as
(Parklife)
And morning soup can be avoided
If you take a root
Straight through what is known as
(Parklife)
John's got brewers droop he gets
Intimidated by the dirty pigeons
They love a bit of it
(Parklife)
Who's that gut lord marchin?
You should cut down on your porklife mate
Get some exercise

CHORUS:
All the people
So many people
And they all go hand in hand
Hand in hand through their parklife

Know what i mean?
I get upwhen i want except on wednesdays
When i get rudely awaken by the dustmen
(Parklife)
I put on my trousers on, have a cup of tea
And then think about leaving the house
(Parklife)
I feed the pigeons
I sometimes feed the sparrows too
It gives me a sense of enormous well being
(Parklife)
And then i'm happy for the rest of the day
Safe in the knowledge there will always
Be a bit of my heart devoted to it

CHORUS

Parklife (Parklife)
Parklife (Parklife)
Its got nothing to do with yuor
Vorsprung durch technique you know
And its not about you joggers
Who go round and round and round and round...

London Calling- The Clash


London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared-and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look at us
Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing

[Chorus]
The ice age is coming, the sun zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning-and I live by the river

London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, you can go it alone
London calling to the zombies of death
Quit holding out-and draw another breath
London calling-and I don't wanna shout
But while we were talking-I saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain't got no highs
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

[Chorus x2]
The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin
A Nuclear Error, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning-and I live by the river

Now get this
London calling, yes, I was there, too
An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
After all this, won't you give me a smile?

I never felt so much a' like

London Bridge is falling down
falling down
falling down

London Bridge is falling down
My fair lady

Don't forget London Loves also by Blur



A malady has taken him over
Coughing tar in his japanese motor
The lights are magic
And he feels lucky
And he's got money
Shoots like an arrow - oh

LONDON LOVES
THE MYSTERY OF A SPEEDING CAR
LONDON LOVES
THE MISERY OF A SPEEDING HEART

Its love u like, and everyone's at it
And words are cheap when the mind is elastic
He loves the violence
Keeps ticking over
So sleep together
Before today is sold forever

LONDON LOVES
THE WAY PEOPLE JUST FALL APART
LONDON LOVES
THE WAY YOU JUST DON'T STAND A CHANCE
LONDON LOVES
THE MYSTERY OF A SPEEDING CAR

O-OH O-OH O-OH O-OH

LONDON LOVES
THE MYSTERY OF A SPEEDING CAR
LONDON LOVES
THE MISERY OF A SPEEDING HEART
LONDON LOVES
THE MYSTERY

LONDON LOVES
THE WAY PEOPLE JUST FALL APART
LONDON LOVES
THE WAY WE JUST DON'T STAND A CHANCE
LONDON LOVES
A SPEEDING HEART

Skyhooks - Somewhere In Sydney...

Somewhere in Sydney there's a lady so pretty
When she crosses the harbour she's the queen of the city
Somewhere in Sydney there's a lady so sweet
She hides her tattoo when she's out on the street
Well it might look like Monaco
But it sure ain't Greece
They gave us Sin City on a million year lease
Ten miles outa Sydney
On Freeway Five
The radio's playin' just as fast as you drive

Somewhere in Sydney upon Bellevue Hill
There's a gay boy with a new toy
Movin' in for the kill
Somewhere in Sydney there's a boy with a hit
Who's shakin' the city and he just won't quit
Well it might look like Monaco
But it sure ain't Greece
They gave us Sin City on a million year lease
Ten miles outa Sydney on Freeway Five
The radio's playin' just as fast as you drive

Sydney sweet Sydney I love your red roofs
And I'm spendin' all my money in your telephone booths
So many people so many types
So much truth and so much hype
I get anonymous letters from the North Shore
They don't read like hard core
Name droppers on the road from my hometown
Bein' around just to be around
And there ain't no rats in the high rise flats
Where the clouds float by my window
And the sounds on the streets are so discreet
And they're all in their own special lingo.

The Kinks - Waterloo Sunset


Dirty old river, must you keep rolling, Flowing into the night
People so busy, makes me feel dizzy, Taxi light shines so bright
But I don't need no friends
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset, I am in paradise

Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time - Waterloo sunset's fine

Terry meets Julie, at Waterloo Station, Every Friday night
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander, I stay at home at night
But I don't feel afraid
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset, I am in paradise

Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time - Waterloo sunset's fine

Millions of people swarming like flies 'round Waterloo underground
But Terry and Julie cross over the river
Where they feel safe and sound
And the don't need no friends
As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset - They are in paradise

Waterloo sunset's fine

Hmmm... on that note (pun unintentional), "America: What Time is Love?" by the KLF does mention Boston and Maine.

I can't think of any song that mentions Indianapolis... well, Prince did an "Indianapolis Angel" song when he played here on the Newpower Soul tour in 1998, but he did that song at multiple gigs and simply plugged in the name of whatever city he was playing.

some Crosby Stills and Nash song was written about some smalltown festival they played at in my home town.


don't know the title or how it goes, but... that's what i've been told.

I LOVE THAT DIRTY WATER!
