Liverpool, in its natural era, before it became less itself and more like other lesser places, was a broken-winded, red-eyed, fat-hearted city, replete with sugar ghosts, lovely wrecks, incendiary scars bursting green with raggy weeds and hunched-over bushes, desperate singing, blood streaking the pavement, dawn strolls by lone police Inspectors bearing silver-topped canes pulling bug-eyed Alsatians, broken roofs with the dim eye of a pale sun peeking through, falling slabs of laughter, people not ever mentioning the Beatles, snooker balls arcing through windows at zam, more football teams than cathedrals, only just more pubs than bookshops, lonely riots, happenings in broad daylight out of the corner of your eye that looked like terror, strangers holding out their hands to help you off the bus, help you off the ground, help you; and a slow, shining, ochre river called the Mersey. It was the most exquisite city in the world.
