There is a fundraising festival for the people whose lively hoods were damaged by the Camden fire in Lock 17 on 28th Feb 2008. Please come and give generously. I will be playing at some point after 11pm visit http://www.myspace.com/antzinthejam for more details http://www.myspace.com/ollytheoctopus http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid... Camden's burning! Fetch the engines! But it's too late for The Halwey Arms. When shove came from push Where were the cast of The Mighty Bush? Couldn't T4's Alexa Chung Between the pub and the smoke And her Arctic Monkeys bloke Her young body have flung? If Pete Docherty Had been within Perhaps he could have been the heroine. And if Bob Geldoff's daughters Had been drinking water They could have raised the alarm So it would come to no harm. Camden's burning! Fetch the engines! But it's too late for The Halwey Arms. It was Amy's wine house. Could her vagabond ways Have had something to do with the blaze? No one can be certain That her crack pipe lit a curtain Unless she's paid off someone's gaze... Captain Black Could not push the flames back And Mobile Act Unsigned Blunted Gilkicker's mind: He couldn't get to the extinguishers in time And Noel Fielding's impractical clothes Stopped him getting to the hose. Camden's burning! Fetch the engines! But it's too late for The Halwey Arms. How will poor old Kate Moss Cope with the loss? And where will she go now With the rock aristocrats And aspirationals in trilby hats? You've got to wonder how Quins down the road Is going to cope with the load Because The Lock Tavern and Proud Galleries Are already full of wannabes. Camden's burning! Fetch the engines! < less
