Dear Madge,
I just wanna tell you that I love parts of your new album/era/recent revival (those pink tights are kinda cool and I really do like your 70's Charlies Angel's hairdo), and I congratulate you on winning that Brit award last night. But now that you've been singled out by the public and your peers for your new album, I feel it's time I asked you the question that's been burning on my brain since the first time I listened to your song "I love New York". Why did you feel the need to mash these lyrics together?
I Love New York
"I don't like cities
but I like New York.
Other places
make me feel like a dork"
Come on? A quick check on a rhyming dictionary (or don't 'serious' artists use rhyming dictionaries?) surely you could have used one of the following?:
"I don't like cities
but I like New York.
I think I'd like it more
if I was with Mickey Rorke"
or
"I don't like cities
but I like New York.
Almost as much as
a good slice of pork"
or
"I don't like cities
but I like New York.
Before I sing I
will use a tuning fork"
Yes, these are all a MASSIVE stretch, but then so is the use of the word "dork". Another throw back to the 70's?
Other than that Madge, love your new stuff. Well done you.

how could she overlook the blatently obvious
"I don't like cities
but I like New York.
I want to eat the big apple
with a massive fork"
Did she choose this song as london is hard to rhyme?
