Maybe it’s because their most specifically London songs weren’t Big Singles, or something.

Top Madness London songs:

1. Mr Speaker (Gets the Word)
2. Primrose Hill
3. Day on the Town
4. Victoria Gardens
5. One Better Day

for fulham railway station, misquoted as fulham broadway station in smash hits, i guess either will suffice

London Bridge falls down, which isn’t anywhere near as dirty.

The chorus would be better as “How come everytime you come around,
My Dirty, Dirty Crossword, wanna go down like…Dirty Dirty Crossword…”

Oh shit (oh shit) Oh shit (oh shit) Oh shit (oh shit)

Are you ready for this? Oh shit (oh shit)
Ohhhhh It’s me, Fergie
The Pimp! Paulo!
Fergie Ferg, what’s up, baby?

[Verse 1]
When I come to the club, step aside.
Part the seas, don’t be havin’ me in the line.
V.I.P., ‘cause you know I gotta shine.
I’m Fergie Ferg, and me love you long time

All my girls get down on the floor,
Back to back, drop it down real low.
I’m such a lady, but I’m dancing like a ho,
‘Cause you know
I don’t give a fuck, so here we go!

[Chorus]
How come everytime you come around,
My London, London bridge, wanna go down like,
London, London, London, wanna go down like,
London, London, London, we goin’ down like…

How come everytime you come around,
My London, London bridge, wanna go down like,
London, London, London, wanna go down like,
London, London, London, we goin’ down like…

[Bridge]Now As The drinks start pouring,
And my speech start slurring,
Everybody start looking real good.

[Verse 2] Grey goose got your girl feeling loose.
Now I’m wishin’ that I didn’t wear these shoes. (I hate heels)
It’s like everytime I get up on the dew,
Paparazzi put my business in the news.

And I’m like get up out my face, (oh shit)
‘fore I turn around and spray your ass with mace. (oh shit)
My lips make you wanna have a taste. (oh shit)
You got that?
I got the bass.

[Chorus] x 2

[Bridge 2}
Aah, da, da, da, da, do, do, do, do
Me like a bullet type, you know they comin’ right
Fergie love em’ long time
My girls support right?
Aah, da, da, da, da, do, do, do, do
Me like a bullet type you know they comin’ right
Fergie lve em’ long time
My girls support right?

[Verse 1]
When I come to the club, step aside.
Pop the seats, don’t be hatin’ me in the line.
V.I.P., ‘cause you know I gotta shine.
I’m Fergie Ferg,give me love you long time

All my girls get down on the floor,
Back to back, drop it down real low.
I’m such a lady, but I’m dancing like a ho,
‘Cause you know
I don’t give a fuck, so here we go!

[Chorus] x2

Fuck you, bitches.

Half A Person being the Smiths song about what actually happens if you do get to the corrupting capital…

on behalf of The Lex I’ll nominate T. Amos’s cover of ‘London Girls’ for the FT alternalist
