Streets of London
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well did you see the old man
Outside the seamen's mission
Memories of fighting with the medals that he wears
And did you see the old man
Outside the seamen's mission
He's just another hero from a land that doesn't care
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And don't you say to me your sun don't shine
And have you seen the old girl
Who walks the Streets Of London
She ain't got no money and she's all dressed in rags
And have you seen the old girl
Who walks the Streets Of London
She carries her old knickers in two polythene bags
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And don't you say to me your sun don't shine
Well let me take you by the hand
And lead you through your Streets Of London
I'll show you something you'll never understand
Well let me take you by the hand
And drag you through your Streets Of London
I'll show you sonething that'll make you really sick
Well let me take you by the hand
And lead you through your Streets Of London
I'll show you something we'll never understand
Well let me take you by the hand
And drag you through your Streets Of London
I'll show you sonething that'll make you really sick
