The New Jerusalem...from the 60's till Now!!!!!!!
London in the 60's was full of excitement and fun...soldiers from Canada, America and Australia had left their marks as did the onslaught of homogenized chemicalized food and coca cola from the USA. Decline of a once glorious nation and all leading to the New Jerusalem..

London in the 60's
The sixties were my time of fun
Excitement filled the streets
London a mecca for all sorts
Jazz, clothes and food and so much more
I shopped for Mary Quant and others of her ilk
Gorgeous clothes linen and silk
Pill box hat perched over one eye
A veil hiding me from view
but they all knew that it was me
Excitement filled the streets

Pill box hat perched over one eye
A veil hiding me from view
but they all knew that it was me
Pleasures of London....
Coffee shops galore and artists too
Gathered to talk dispute change views
Debate on every subject known to man
And some never dreamed about for sure

Nighclubs where we did drink all night
And dance the heavenly hours away
No cops to stop us on our way home
Better things had they to do
(like crime)

The Lone Ranger
Vidal Sasson my hair did trim in fabled Bond Street
Pedicures manicures and all the rest
To keep me looking at my best
Modelling sweaters was my game
My limited time of dubious fame
They called me the lone ranger then
For always as now I was alone
Preferring my company to them
Pedicures manicures and all the rest
To keep me looking at my best

My limited time of dubious fame
They called me the lone ranger then
For always as now I was alone
Preferring my company to them
British Air force
A war scarred town it was those days
German V1's bombs had left their marks
On buildings homes and many parks
But we cared not
The war was won and we could cheer
Americans Australians Canadians all
Who visited our war torn shores
And helped keep Nazi planes at bay
Although our Air force had won the day
For Britain

Addictions...from the good old US of A
Not much to eat there was for sure
Rationing still a bloody way
No fruit no crisps not much at all
But cared we less for we were free
This long before what is today
Gradually though all things did change
On pavements saw we parking meters rise
And wondered what the hell were those
Street after street they did impose
And in our shops foods did appear
American brands they were
Not contaminated yet with GMO's
Monsanto's poisonous chemicals to fear
A drink called Coca Cola hit the stores
We did not know its content then
Of coke cocaine an additive
Addictive in so many ways
Just as it is today
A power play of greed
another from America's shores
Rationing still a bloody way

Just as it is today
A power play of greed

The Decline...
And now that country once so bright
Destroys itself from inside out
Power greed and money made their claim
As once a wise Indian engineer did say to me
Happen it would and soon
Just like most empires come and go
Destroyed by those who do not know
To care and share and bring about
The new Jerusalem
and it will be
Destroys itself from inside out
Power greed and money made their claim
As once a wise Indian engineer did say to me
Happen it would and soon
Just like most empires come and go
Destroyed by those who do not know
To care and share and bring about
The new Jerusalem
and it will be
