Streets Of London

Have you seen the old man in the closed down market

Picking up the papers with his worn out shoes

In his eyes

You see no pride and have lose the other side

Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news

So how can you tell me you're lonely

And say for you that 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

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 teacup

And each the last to know anyone at home alone

So how can you tell me you're lonely

And say for you that 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 right

She's no time for talking

She just keeps right on walking

Carrying her home in two carrier bags

So how can you tell me you're lonely

And say for you that 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

And have you seen the old man outside the

Seaman's mission

Memory fading with the metal ribbons that he wears

And I went to city

The rain cries a little pity

One more forgotten hero

And a world that doesn't care

So how can you tell me you're lonely

And say for you that 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

I'll show you something to make you change your mind
