Streets of london

by Perry Blake

Have you seen the old man in the closed down market,
Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes?
In his eyes you 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 that the sun doesn’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 keeps right on walking,
Carrying her home in two carrier bags.
In the all night café at a quarter past eleven
Same old man is sitting there on his own.
Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup,
Each tea last an hour, and he wanders home alone.
Have you seen the old man outside the seaman’s mission,
Memory fading with the metal ribbons that he wears?
In our winter city the rain cries a little pity,
For one more forgotten hero and a world that doesn’t care.

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 won'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
So how can you tell me, you're lonely
and say for you the sun won'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 tea-cup
Each tea lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone
So how can you tell me, you're lonely
and say for you the sun won'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 man outside the Seamens mission
memorie fathing, with the medalreabbons that he weares
In our winter city, the rain cryes little pitty,
For one more forgoten hero, and a world that doesn´t care
So how can you tell me, you're lonely
and say for you that the sun doesn'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

Streets Of London

by Bobby Bare

Have you seen the old man in the closed down market,
kicking up the papers with his worn-out shoes?
In his eyes you see no pride, hand held loosely by his side.
Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news.
So how can you tell me you're lonely?
And say for you that the sun doesn’t shine.
Oh, 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?
Dirty her hair and her clothes in rags,
she's no time for talking, she keep 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 doesn’t shine.
Oh, 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 on the world over the rim of his tea cup,
each tea lasts an hour and he wanders home alone.
So how can you tell me you're lonely?
And say for you that the sun doesn’t shine.
Oh, 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 man outside the seamen's mission?
Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears?
In our winter city the rain cries a little pity.
For 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 doesn’t shine.
Oh, 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 man
In the closed-down market
Kicking up the paper
with his worn out shoes?
In his eyes you see no pride
Hand held loosely at his side
Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news
Have you seen the old girl
Who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags?

Streets of London

by Avenue Q

Well did you see the old man
Outside the seamen's mission
Never is a fading 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 something 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 something that'll make you really sick

Hand held loosely at his side
Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news
So how can you tell me you're lonely,

Carrying her home in two carrier bags.

Looking at the world
Over the rim of his tea-cup,
Each tea lasts an hour
And he wanders home alone
So how can you tell me you're lonely?
Don't say for you that the sun don't shine,
Let me take you by the hand
and lead you through the streets of London
Show you something
to make you change your mind

In our winter city,
The rain cries a little pity
For 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,
Show you something
to make you change your mind
