Forget the power station - Battersea now has another claim to fame after being namechecked in the newest song by Babyshambles hellraiser Pete Doherty.

The rocker's latest is titled From Bollywood to Battersea, and is his band's contribution to the hastily-produced but highly-acclaimed War Child charity album.

Unfortunately, a close examination of the lyrics penned by Kate Moss's wayward beau gives little clue to why he chose to further immortalise Battersea in song.

The chorus unenlighteningly runs: "Well it's a long, long way, oooh, from Bollywood to Battersea". And indeed it is 4,477 miles in fact. But where does that get us?

Turning hopefully to the verses, we find plenty of references - interspersed with a longing paean to a siren-like beauty - to Pete's upbringing in Blighty.

"I was a child of the pound and the crown," he sings. "I was a child of the suicide and the leisure", "My old man said as he shook his head, Ohhh, f*** this... I'm off down the boozer."

Aside from the tantalising hint that Doherty Sr might have been a regular in one our local public houses, we found ourselves stumped, and turned for help, in increasing desperation, to Doherty's spokespeople at Coalition.

Could someone deconstruct these lyrics and explain why the star's attention had fallen on the borough?

A speedy reply came. "The only person who can really give you the information you need is Peter, as he wrote the song. Unfortunately, he is not doing any interviews at the moment," said a spokesman.

No interviews? Why ever would that be? So bang goes our shot at a world exclusive and down the pan goes our last chance at deciphering Doherty's intriguing scribblings.
