Though I've been to London, I wasn't fortunate to stay long enough to check out the riverboats of the Thames. I wonder if anyone who knows can confirm the location of the Riverboat "Pride of London" ( http://www.thamesriverboats.net/page4.htm ) and whether it might have any relation at all to this song. Seems likely, it is mentioned in a different 'scene' (two in the morning on the self same night), so he may not be talking about the Gypsy Moth in this scene. Perhaps he's strolled down the Thames a bit and come upon the Pride of London. This is one of my favorite songs, and Mark Knopfler one of my favorite artists forever. As Douglas Adams once ventured, he could charm the angels down from heaven with his guitar. -=Trickyelf> |
