about

Collected Works
27th January 2019 - Sante Fe NM.
The oldest independent community-
owned bookshop in Sante Fe, situated just off the historic downtown Plaza. The cafe disappeared to make way for theatre seating and we squeezed onto a tiny but precariously tall stage. Molly was happy exploring the children’s section to the right and ended up asleep in the Events Manager’s arms.

SMOG OVER LONDON
Inspired by Burton and Swinburne in the Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack, by Mark Hodder.

lyrics

Sail over Battersea in your velocipede Show off your skills in the air
Don’t let Technologists catch you and saw of bits What are they building in there?
It’s such a joy to be in my velocipede Flying as high as a bird
Smog over London Looks jolly splendid I’ve heard Smog over London Looks jolly splendid I’ve heard
London’s not meant to be
The way it turned out to be God didn’t save the Queen-o Talking dogs on the streets, Bloody parakeets, Exploding wolves, don’t you know Who’d have thought Nightingale Would side with all those males Making a hash of us all
Smog over London Looks jolly splendid I’ve heard Smog over London Looks jolly splendid I’ve heard
