Wot Cher! Knocked 'em in the Old Kent Road
A musical hall song written in 1891 by Albert Chevalier. His version was never recorded, but there have been versions over the years by Shirley Temple, Stanley Holloway, Acker Bilk, Julie Andrews, Roy Hudd, Mike Reid and many others. But who cares about them when you can watch Fozzie Bear sing it on The Muppet Show:

Tune.
Bus Honeygun
This week the score draws are plentiful
I'd assume so given its railway significance.

Top tune.
I've got super mixed feelings about London. Used to absolutely love it. Lived there for a few years and have family heritage there. Can't stand the place now, as the London I loved has largely vanished.
Anyway, MES always hated it, but I love the way he's intertwined a basic 'get me the fuck out of here' with layers about Romans and Arthur Machen:

so defeated, thinks it's funny
The first Cool Greenhouse single is a great London song:
One good thing about this city is there's no shortage of good coffee
well you can even get a croissant with it
for only £13.50
found a cardboard box in Hackney
just a grand and a half monthly
well I can only fit my head in it
but bollocks to the rest of me...
Well now I'm six months in, I'm setting up a start-up bakery
y'know we only use flour, that's been puked on by a baby
But for heaven's sake don't ask me, what happened to the family
who used to occupy this space, before my nice bread factory
'cause I'm just trying to satisfy the need
for exquisite toast and honey
and if you pay for it through your nose
we'll even give you some free toffee
I'm getting used to the air here
can feel it shaving the years off me
But sometimes I get a sinking feeling
like there's a great evil above me
