Streets of London

Have you seen the old man, in the closed-down market Kicking up the papers, with his worn-out shoes? In his eyes you'd see no pride, hand held loosely by his side Yesterday's papers, telling yesterday's news

So how can you tell me, you're lonely And say for you the sun don't shine? Let me take you by the hand, And lead you through the streets of London I'll show you something, to make you change your mind.

Have you seen the old girl, who walks the streets of London Dirt in her hair, and her clothes in rags? She's no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking. Carrying her home, in two carrier bags.

CHORUS

In the all-night cafe, at a quarter past eleven Same old man sitting there, on his own. Looking at the world, over the rim of his tea-cup. Each tea lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone.

CHORUS

Have you seen the old man outside the Seaman's Mission Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears. In our winter city, the rain crys a little pity, For one more forgotten hero, and a world that doesn't care.

CHORUS
