Night Boat to Cairo Lyrics
Night Boat To Cairo !!.....
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...
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.
