Dictation - A song about London called
The Streets of LondonStreets of London
Have you seen the old man in the closed down market,
up the papers with his
shoes?
In his eyes you see no pride, hands
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 girl
the streets of London,
Dirt in her hair and her clothes
?
She's no time for talking, she just
walking,
Carrying her home in two carrier bags.
In the all night cafe at a quarter past eleven
Same old man is sitting there on his own.
Looking at the world over
his teacup,
Each tea last an hour, and he
home alone.
Have you seen the old man outside the seamen's mission,
with the metal ribbons that he wears?
In our winter city the rain cries a
,
For one more forgotten hero and a world that doesn't care.
