Track twelve from the album 'One Hyde Park' by The Dowling Poole. A dark dystopian view of where the current failures of capitalism may eventually lead....
lyrics
ONE Hyde Park
Newspaper doves flew in aubergine skies
While the flames lingered on
When the tears from the white clouds had gone
And all because good people did nothing at all
Simplified structures in black or in white
But we all sang along
And though most would guess something was wrong
Still the high priest shrugged and the show it went on and on
Say what you see there, say what you see
Barbed wire over Chelsea Bridge
Armed guards on the square city mile
Slow dancing in Trafalgar Square
When the One Hyde Park building was burned to the ground
Raspberry rivulets pooled and grew dark
While the oil-patch rainbows stared
Bemused by the space they now shared
And all because good people did nothing at all
The demonised met in the queues to the foodbanks
United in shame
While the TV poured fuel on the flame
And the headlines squealed at those so easily blamed
Say what you see there, say what you see
Barbed wire over Chelsea Bridge
Armed guards ‘round that square city mile
Slow dancing in Trafalgar Square
When the One Hyde Park building was burned to the ground
Ba-ba-ba Ba-ba-ba
And history shows, which way this wind blows
Barbed wire over Chelsea Bridge
Armed guards around that golden city mile
We were slow dancing in Trafalgar Square
When the One Hyde Park building was burned to the ground
Burned to the ground

I loved some of these first time around, some I was less enamoured with, but this is a great collection and some I was less then enamoured about are now transformed for example Thunderfuck and Bang! Tom take the money is as glorious as ever. Andy Castledine
