I wish I lived in South-East London

I wish I lived in South-East London.

Oh, wait… I live in South-East London.

Well, I wish I lived in South-East London

on the same street as Florence

(+ the Machine).

And every time I’d take out the garbage

I’d see her.

I’d ask her ‘Are the dog days over?’

She’d probably say ‘Not yet…’

But at least I’d know

that one day they will be over

and

happiness will hit me

and air and sun and nature

will be happy

because

we’ll be seeing all the lovely faces

that we’ve missed so much.
