about
A collaboration with Portsmouth-based musician Andrew Rowley aka Black Hulled Ships about the now-defunct theme park in the NW of England.
lyrics
I went to Camelot
I coach load of children from Preston.
Cheap cut beefburgers
Wooden framed rollercoasters about to close down
A bald-headed bloke in a Liverpool top, pushing a buggy –
“see yer mate” – yeah see yer mate.
Candy floss trodden on the floor in a puddle of mud.
The wet drizzle covers my waterproof jacket.
I went to Camelot
Kids on the dodgems, causing each other bust lips
Ducks on the lake, feeding off the scraps of hotdogs
Two for a fiver
Cheap lager
I’m frightened, in Camelot.
All the young mums with Ugg Boots, shout at their toddlers with giant foreheads
Cigarette smoke fills the queues to the Big Wheel.
90s dance hits
Neon lights
Its Camelot.
