Summer Pudding

This road's ghostly Straight as the dead Closed-down buildings Closed down Closed down In 1960 Cafes steamed and glowed Transport thundered Not now Not now Once you could rely on British food Distinctive The worst in the world Now it's all the same An American chain has done away with lemon meringue Pigeons nestle On crimson PVC Empty ashtrays Closed down Closed down Once you could get any kind of food Grilled or fried The worst in the world Now it's all the same An American chain has done away with lemon meringue Girls on two wheels Swagger to the door Toast and butter Not now Not now Once there were just two flavours of food Red or brown The worst in the world Now it's all the same An American chain has done away with lemon meringue Away with lemon meringue Why did they do away with lemon meringue
