Perhaps its no surprise





Perhaps it is no surprise


strength, unity and diversity
don't miss out 
this is the historic moment
I drifted away

avoid Central London
with just four days to go 
party Games start tonight
from inside a locked dressing room
full to bursting

and then, darkness
we will not be offered tea
there is something amiss
in this city nothing can be trusted

the whole world is looking at you
with intensity like that 
headed towards Pluto
everything is getting illuminated
we're spoilt for choice

from the dark recesses of 
an intimate and hilarious evening
now that the Sun has joined Mercury
we are seeing self-fulfilling panic
