"You're so pretty, suburban kitty. You think you're gonna change, rearrange your city ..." Johnny Rotten singing about New York with the Pistols got under the skin of one Mr Thunders and he penned a poisoned riposte. Glorious stuff. Slightly ironic too that half of the Pistols would be on Johnny's record. So Alone. The one with You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory on.A site dedicated to songs about London. As simple as that. The only rules are that the songs must be brilliant and that the blindingly obvious numbers are excluded. The songs may be explicitly about London or obliquely about the city in some way. This is a project that was deliberately designed to last for one year. It will remain live for people to explore. So please enjoy discovering the lost and found songs of London, and do please spread the word.
