Winds of Change

Winds of Change

Oh So now the powers that be..
are having a stab at Diversity..
street names in old London town,
Mr Sadiq wants to burn them down..
Londons burning, Londons burning,
fetch the penguins, fetch the penguins.
Fire Fire Fire Fire..

The Old Lady on Thread Needle Street,
May have to fall to her feet..
And we give her a new address
Bank of Poppledoppledis ..

Trafalgar Square will come under fire,
suggest Nelson closes his good eye,
The Lions can stay, no need to roam..
They make Christian's feel near to home..

Heart is China towns chop sticks..
Where Westminster's Big Ben ticks,
That's got to go it's too English..
Change that to Big Beijing..

Watling Street, Erming Street Fosse Way..
We never wanted your names to stay,
But it's history that made it that way..
are we now going to re write it..?

Londons Burning.
Fetch the penguins..
Fire....
isn't what it used to be.
