Elvis Costello har kærligt genskrevet The Clash’s ‘Clash City Rockers’ som ‘London’s Brilliant’ til Wendy James…
…I didn’t want to be some satellite clown
So I went up to London ‘cos I heard it’s falling down
Found the Dennis the Menace of Little Venice
Still digging up the bones of Strummer and Jones
Revolutionary days were sadly over
And a cool profile down Ladbroke Grove
Won’t make it no more
You could wake up in a doorwayLondon’s brilliant when it’s raining
Everbody’s moaning and complaining
London’s dismal and divine
And I know one day, one day…one day, one day
It’s going to be mine…
