Cover art for London lyrics by Alanis Morissette

I always presumed this was about the London in Canada - what with the: -"My friends come to visit and love me a lot" line

  • there's a large percentage of French in Canada's population (Quebec, innit?) so those lines didn't look out of place
  • the fact that she's Canadian

But the "train out of France" must mean she's talking about our London.
