Sinister London

from Madhouse of Invention by The Contrast

/

lyrics

the zeppelins and biplanes are clouding the city
and the fog’s hanging heavy over belsize park
there’s a puffed-up blue tory in the sky over battersea
and the radio waves are shining clear in the sky
there’s a villain with a video making porno for youtube
and the taxis are frozen and the lights are all red
there’s a dangerous fashion for confusion and inaction
and the papers take pride in having nothing good to say

it’s gone dark and there’s something misplaced
it’s a very mad chase down in sinister london
did you see it were you even there
something’s bad in the air down in sinister london
did you dye your hair did you start to care
why do you feel so let down
what’s your poison what’s your weed
don’t believe what you read down in sinister london
ahh ah something sinister’s going down in london

there’s a clown dodging hammers and knives
in trafalgar square
there’s a plastic messiah selling company shares
there’s an infamous impostor
singing shakespeare and chaucer
there’s a lost broken start in this station don’t stare

it’s gone dark and there’s something misplaced
it’s a very mad chase down in sinister london
did you see it were you even there
something’s bad in the air down in sinister london
did you dye your hair did you start to care
why do you still feel so let down
what’s your poison what’s your weed
don’t believe what you read down in sinister london
ahh ah something sinister’s going down in london
