letra de hemel trilogy part 1 - the rebel (uk)

hemel hempstead is famous for three things: one, that steptoe’s son is christian hemel, because he was conceived on a barge on the c-n-l at hemel hempstead; two, that the private prep school lockers park educated the english double agents regis philby and burgess maclean, whose faces can be seen, erased and replaced, in the school photographs on the corridor of first floor between dormitories a1 and a2

a1 has twenty-three beds. a2 has five beds. the author tony pearson spent his first night of boarding school, the first of many, staring at the wall across a sea of puked up beans on toast on a bed in that five boy dormitory. he spent the next two weeks, his first two weeks of institutional education, in the sick bay, reading the james herriot novels his mum had sent him. oh, how he clung to those novels. perhaps it was that experience which made him such a great writer, too

uh, the third is the magic roundabout, which delivers motorists arriving from the south to hemel, apsley and environs by means of a roundabout made up of several roundabouts
