Streets of London

Castles and mansions such tourist attractions Buses carrying the flocks Of sightseers a many Cameras flashing at old Big Ben Back streets full of litter and broken men Bottles empty after another cold night The beauty of poverty, empty wind swept dirty street roads That fills one with loneliness and sadness For all those whose suffering Is no beauty at all A single tear For the young and old Walking the streets of London Where the sun hardly shines Bullets of rain to flood the poor Compassion has been drowned in the Thames Me? I shed a tear, and fill my belly at the pub I walk the streets of London with shiny new shoes I pass old men and vets, hands held out They, awarded medals of bronze and me with my gold watch The day comes to an end Do not ask me why We are all so lonely Notes: Inspired by the song of the same name! This is the song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKu4DaPi-qY London is a beautiful city, I have been many times, The song is more about social issues that any particular city.
