Streets of London (Acoustic Version)
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, 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 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 gal
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 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 in the all-night cafe
At a quarter past eleven
Some old man
Sitting there all on his own
Looking at the world over the rim
Of his tea-cup
Each day lasts an hour
And he wanders home alone
In the closed-down market
Picking 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 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 gal
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 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 in the all-night cafe
At a quarter past eleven
Some old man
Sitting there all on his own
Looking at the world over the rim
Of his tea-cup
Each day lasts an hour
And he wanders home alone
