Song language: English
Streets of London |
| Have you seen the old man in the closed down arcade? |
| Kicking up the paper with his worn-out shoes? |
| In his eyes you see no pride, hands held loosely at his side |
| Yesterday’s paper 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 |
| And show you something to make you change your mind |
| In the all-night café at a quarter past eleven |
| Same old man sitting there on his own |
| Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup |
| Each tea lasts an hour and he wanders home alone |
| 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 |
| And show you something to make you change your mind |
| And have you seen the old man outside the Seamen’s Mission? |
| Memory fading with the medals that he wears |
| In our winter 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, the sun don’t shine? |
| Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London |
| And show you something to make you change your mind |
