Elvis Costello

London's Brilliant Parade

from the album Brutal Youth, 1994:

...The lions and the tigers in Regent's Park
Couldn't pay their way
And now they're not the only ones
At the Hammersmith Palais
In Kensington and Camden Town
There's a part that I used to play
The lovely Diorama is really part of the drama, I'd say.

Apparently this was a reference to the Zoo losing its funding in the late 1980's due to cost-cutting zeal by the Conservative government.
