| Babyshambles – Albion Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
First of all, the lyrics as printed here are both wrong in places and incomplete for not naming the towns listed as symbols of Pete's imagined England (and, yes, must echo that it is England, not Britain). William Blake (who had such an influence on Jim Morrisson) portrayed Albion in his poems as a sort of mystical England, the new jerusalem. Doherty is tapping into this vision. I like the song a lot but some parts feel laboured (where the hell in England is there a queue outside a disused power station?) Still, it stands well as a name check of a miscellany of the young, bored and working-class English experience. Hope Pete doesn't do a Morrisson. |
