Desolation Row: Hertford
Bircherley Green Hertford is being redeveloped and to see part of the town centre today made me think about the Dylan song of that name. To be fair to the builders are being incredible tidy but it's just sad to see it like this.
I include two verses of this wonderful morbid tone which seem to fit the bill.
They're selling postcards of the hanging
They're painting the passports brown
The beauty parlor is filled with sailors
The circus is in town
Here comes the blind commissioner
They've got him in a trance
One hand is tied to the tightrope walker
The other is in his pants
