Night Boat to Cairo Lyrics
It's just gone noon
Half past monsoon
On the banks of the river Nile
Here comes the boat
Only half-afloat
Oarsman grins a toothless smile
Only just one more
To this desolate shore
Last boat along the river...

Evocation of a once so -called "glorious" empire now perceived by the late seventies to be in its very final death throes, but going down with a resigned and inevitable smile on its face symptomatic of its overall Britishness (The Lyrics and Suggs's oversized Pith Helmet)
-
This is about going out in London town and then waiting for the last night bus to Camden.
