Madness - We Are London

Looters and rioters in London and elsewhere in the UK would be adviced to listen to Madness' "We Are London" from their latest album, The Liberty Of Norton Folgate (2009). Here are the lyrics in full, further down a link to the song.

From Regent's Park mosque on to Baker Street
Down to the Cross where all the pipes smoke neat
To Somers Town where some things never stop
The Roundhouse, the Marathon bar in Camden Lock

You can make it your own hell or heaven
Live as you please
Can we make it if we all live together
As one big family

Down to Chinatown for duck and rice
Along old Compton Street the boys are nice
On Carnaby you can still get the threads
If you wanna be a mod, a punk, a ted, or a suede head

You can make it your own hell or heaven
Live as you please
Can we make it if we all live together
As one big family

We are London
London talking
We are London
London walking

In all the night clubs, strip joints and the bars
From it's poorest paid to it's highest stars
The poets, plumbers, painters, spreads and sparks
From it's inner city to it's furthest parts

You can make it your own hell or heaven
Live as you please
Can we make it if we all live together
As one big family

We are London
London talking
We are London
London walking
