Cartoon Dad
I thought the streets were paved with gold I always thought my fortune flowed All along the River Thames From Westminster to Southend Into the sea
I thought I'd find it at the heart Of every garden and Royal Park Where money grows on trees Beneath the moon that's made of cheese
But the ground beneath my feet Was just tarmac and concrete The road sticking to my Converse As it melted in the heat
Of a muggy Monday morning Through the smog of global warming The sun would not be blocked By any cream bought from a shop
On a busy London high street That looked just like any other As it was filmed from every angle For a voyeuristic Big Brother
The opening of another Tesco Metro supermarket Girls leaving the Body Shop For the nearest Golden Arches
And if a horror film or snuff movie Was captured on the cameras It could be used in court as evidence Which didn't mean much to the families
In a crematorium where the left side Of the stereo wasn't working For the song that played as it conveyed The coffin through the curtains

The tourists watching from the wheel With their camera phones and Happy Meals Suspected a PR stunt And secretly they hoped I'd jump
And break my neck but not be killed On the electric fence that had just been built If we keep the terrorists at bay Maybe they'll just go away
And leave us to mount our challenge To all the Americans who thought Our service could never be as lousy As the service in New York
At fifteen minutes to the hour I climbed down from St. Stephen's Tower For cigarettes and Lucozade For the police and the fire brigade
Dr. Samuel Johnson You were very nearly right I was tired of London But I would never tire of life
Mighty Mouse is on his way Here I come to save the day From the tower of Big Ben Flying south across the Thames Faster than the speed of sound High above the Underground With my supermarket bag Just another cartoon dad In London town
