The new faces of 1958


 












The future is beckoning them
from a bedsit in Notting Hill Gate.
They'll smash colour, like an atom.
They’re the new faces of 1958!
Have you seen the Jackson Pollock?
It’s taking Whitechapel by storm
like Tommy Steele and his caveman rock.
With a Ginsberg howl, they’ve all gone freeform.
Being shocking and new is their riff.
They are excited about Mark Rothko
they’re taking a waltz on grandad’s quiff.
They loved This is Tomorrow.
It's strange how things comes back again.
Rita Ora is the new Alma Cogan.
