Kenneth Anger's Lucifer Rising
Camden '84 show
The audience mostly tripping
soundtrack missing, so here's ELO

Beat-down in London Town
Pass the amulets around
Well-oiled social blend
None of whom need meet again

Great plans can be announced
Through champing teeth and cotton mouths
"When I get money, you know what I'll do?
'The Symphonies of Danny La Rue'!"

It's nearly three in the morning
& Danny won't come offstage
The Stepney boys are offended
He's forfeited his wealth
with one catty tirade

Out on the western plain
where Stratocasters weren't acclaimed
Seated on plastic chairs
bankrupts join in psalms and prayers

Dan expired in Tonbridge Wells
Could he still hear Shandon's Bells?
Later, some hometown walking snafu
sells 'Symphonies of Danny La Rue'

He's not successful like Danny
He's barely known at all
He can't tell when they're laughing
with or at his old pratfalls

He's the flim-flam Sober Man
Hipflasks taped to cymbal stands
An eye for under-35s
Neither smart nor dignified

Offspring he ignored
In anecdote, become adored
The childhood they had,
sure they're keen to peruse
those Symphonies of Danny La Rue
