LYRICS:
Well did you see the old man.
Outside the seamen's mission.
Memories are 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 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.
