"Went for a walk down the Old King's Road, To see if anybody was there. But there was nobody home at 3 Bywater Street, And they had sold Cadogan Square. And I remember myself in my tie dye sweater, And my hipster corduroy flares. As I knocked on doors, And walked down one-way streets that led nowhere..." -Ray Davies, "Did Ya", 1992
