You're invited

If you came to London,

Would your footsteps ring the bell?

Would the buildings start to shake?

Would they close the gates of hell?

If you walked past parliament,

Would you walk right in?

Would you prefer to go to Camden,

Or go and visit Kensington?

If you called out for Keir,

Afoot the door of number 10.

What would you ask of him?

Would you make us vote again?

Would you divert to tower hamlets,

If you walked along the river.

Would you prioritise politicians?

And stay close to Westminster?

Would you catch the tube?

Or walk the pavement with pigeons?

Would you tell the Archbishop,

You were never a religion.

If you came to London,

Would you expect to wear a crown?

Who would be king of England,

If you decide to come down?

Would you go to the palace?

And sit on Charles’ throne?

Or would angels cry out

That you’re the king and king alone.

If you came to London,

Would we ever meet?

Even somewhere in the middle

Between the clouds and all the concrete?
