Streets of London!!!!

Jag tycker denna text är så bra!!!

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
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 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 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

In the old night cafe at a
quarter past eleven
The 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
that 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 man
Outside the seaman's mission
Memory fading with the minor
ribands that he wears
In our city winter the rain
cries little pity
For one more forgotten hero
And a world which 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
