Doctor Salter’s Daydreaming
Verse 1.
This river’s quietly flowing on and on
Father Thames, an end-of-empire song
Through cosmopolitan metropolis
Through jaded centuries, the photographs have long since gone
Bridge
The Smoke has found a brand new home
And this city’s heart is beating strong
Chorus
Oh oh oh
Don’t tire of London
If you’re tired of London
You’re tired of living
Oh oh oh
Stay a while in London
Be a child in London
Lose your mind in London (2: Get lost in London)
Verse 2
And taxis ply their trade all day
Through patchworked neighbourhoods where citizens come out to play
A microcosm of the world – or so it seems
Brick Lane, White Teeth and Tubby Isaacs, Gaulston Street
Rpt. Bridge
Rpt. Chorus
Verse 3
And daylight creeps from east to west
Doctor Salter’s daydreaming as passers-by look on with interest
We’re talking with nine million different points-of-view
In a thousand different accents, north & south, you k now it’s true
Coda
From the nurses in the Seaman’s Mission
To the ghosts down in Clerkenwell Prison
Meet the Eagle or the Angel Islington
Or be the mayor just like Dick Whittington
