Parklife


(Following on from yesterday's blog about me thinking Phil Daniels, and not Phil Davis, would be in Doctor Who And The Fires Of Pompeii, I give you...)

Pompeii!

Veni vidi vici is the ipso facto status quo in the town what is known as... Pompeii!

A pyroclastic flow can be avoided if you take a route straight through what is known as...Pompeii!

Evelina’s got second sight, she’ll get enlisted by the Sybilline Sisterhood, they love a bit of it! (Pompeii!)

Who’s that Time Lord Doctor? You should try the hypocaust, mate, get some exercise!

All the people, so many people
And they’ll all get buried alive, buried alive in their... Pompeii!

I get up when I want, except on Wednesdays, when I get rudely awakened by an ominous rumbling (Pompeii!)

I put my toga on, have a glass cup of wine, and I think about leaving the villa (Pompeii!)

I visit the baths, I sometimes visit the brothels too, they give me a sense of enormous well-being (Pompeii!)

And then I’m happy for the rest of the day, at least until it starts to rain down volcanic ash and pumice onto my asphyxiated twitching corpse

All the people, so many people
And they’ll all get scorched alive, scorched alive in their... Pompeii!

Pompeii! Pompeii! Pompeii! Pompeii!

It’s got nothing to do with Steve Lyon’s
The Fires Of Vulcan, you know.

Pompeii! Pompeii!

Or those canon arguments which go round and round and round and round...

Pompeii! Pompeii!

All the people, so many people
And they’ll all get buried alive, buried alive in their... Pompeii!

All the people, so many people
And they’ll all get petrified, petrified in their... Pompeii!
