My great-great-grandmother, she used to sold violets on the streets of London
like the old-fashioned when you see in Mary Poppins
the old lady that selling violets on the streets
She would have gone early in the morning to the Old Covent Garden
and I dare say that she had a whale of a time there
Covent Garden is in my blood
I just feel like it's my home
It's like being home
I can feel the atmosphere, of how it must have been in the old days
It must have been dirty, smelly, busy
but absolutely full of people that were just alive
really, really alive in the mornings, and shouting and selling and, you know, trying to barter
and just the whole thing must have been interesting, absolutely magical, really
Around Covent Garden Market grew up a world of theatres
brothels and coffee houses that attracted writers and artists
Urban life in the raw was to become the subject matter of art
