A song for Coronation Day

[shewhomust]

Watch on YouTube

We’ll rehouse the homeless in Buckingham Palace,
Start at the bottom, work down to the top,...


No master, no landlord, no flag, no guru,
No Gauleiter, no commissar,
Just justice and poetry and jam on it too,
and when they ask: "who’s in charge here?"
We all say: "We are!"

That ought to be an uncontroversial statement: but try going into central London with a placard saying so ...
