But what is war without peace? But a simple trapping nestled among the well intentioned gnomes.

And Constantinople was Byzantium. Glad we have that established.

Well if you won't post it:

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night

Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way

So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks

Istanbul (Istanbul)

One for the trivia buffs - the fall of Constantinople and the former Byzantine empire was 1456, which is the same year as the birth of Leonardo Da Vinci. Out with the old, in with the new and time to move on.
