Wikipedia (visit link) tells a
little of Ladbroke Grove:
"Ladbroke Grove is a west London
road in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It is also sometimes the
name given informally to the immediate surrounding area. Running from Notting
Hill in the south to Kensal Green in the north, it is located in North
Kensington and straddles the W10 and W11 postal districts. Ladbroke Grove tube
station is located on the road, at the point where it is crossed by the Westway.
The adjacent bridge and nearby section of the Westway (London) was regenerated
in 2007 in a partnership including Urban Eye, Transport for London and London
Underground. It is also the nearest tube station to Portobello Road
Market.
The street is named after James
Weller Ladbroke, who developed the Ladbroke Estate in the mid nineteenth
century, until then a largely rural area on the western edges of
London.
It is the main road on the route of
the annual Notting Hill Carnival in August."
The full lyrics (visit
link) are:
"She`s going away for a
holiday
Say she`s going to LA
But we wish she`ll come back
Yes, we wish
she`ll come back, come back
Don`t wanna think about her on the plane
Don`t
wanna think about the KKK, oh no
Only wish she`ll come back
Yes, we wish
she`ll come
`Cause Annalisa is the only punk rock
girl
And you are not like her
`Cause she`s the only cool
Girl in
Ladbroke Grove
She`s the only girl, she`s the only girl
She`s the only
cool
Girl in Ladbroke Grove…
Only cool girl in Ladbroke
Grove…"
