Kaleidoscope
It started long ago
Acorns were sewn and they would grow
From the ground that would become
The beating heart of London
Spreading love and peace around
The beautiful people came to town
And made this place
The envy of the World
Fourteen streets came to life
Flowing from Kaleidoscope minds……
Here’s to all the
Kings & Queens
And all those in betweens
Who coloured our lives
With their rainbows in the sky
Turning dust to gold
No hope into life and soul
So happy to be here
Living life on Carnaby
Mr Stephen and John Paul
Changed the lives of one and all
From Lord Kitchener to Lady Jane
The revolution had started
And not just fashion, music too
With each decade the rebels knew
This was the place
The place to be heard
Fourteen streets had come alive
Flowing from Kaleidoscope minds……
Here’s to all the
Kings & Queens
And all those in betweens
Who coloured our lives
With their rainbows in the sky
With Mosaics, and bars
Night life under the Stars
So happy to be here
Living life on Carnaby
It all means so much
It all means so much
Here’s to all the
Kings & Queens
And all those in betweens
Who coloured our lives
With their rainbows in the sky
And beneath the Streets
There are secrets that they keep
So happy to be here
In the heart of Carnaby…….
