[00:00.00]Streets of London (A Tribute to Ralph Mctell) - Ameritz - Tribute
[00:14.13]Have you seen the old man
[00:16.75]In the closed-down market
[00:19.28]
[00:20.27]Kicking up the paper
[00:22.46]
[00:23.18]With his worn out shoes
[00:25.78]
[00:26.93]In his eyes you see no pride
[00:30.08]And held loosely at his side
[00:32.94]
[00:33.97]Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news
[00:39.01]
[00:41.22]So how can you tell me you're lonely
[00:46.76]
[00:48.79]And say for you that the sun don't shine
[00:51.60]
[00:54.39]Let me take you by the hand and
[00:57.57]Lead you through the streets of London
[01:00.50]
[01:01.45]I'll show you something
[01:03.04]
[01:04.24]To make you change your mind
[01:06.26]
[01:14.33]Have you seen the old girl
[01:16.27]
[01:16.96]Who walks the streets of London
[01:19.23]
[01:20.54]Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
[01:26.10]
[01:27.04]She's no time for talking
[01:29.03]
[01:29.81]She just keeps right on walking
[01:32.43]
[01:33.95]Carrying her home in two carrier bags
[01:38.87]
[01:41.12]So how can you tell me you're lonely
[01:46.45]
[01:48.72]And say for you that the sun don't shine
[01:51.95]
[01:54.48]Let me take you by the hand and
[01:57.63]Lead you through the streets of London
[02:00.73]
[02:01.66]I'll show you something
[02:03.25]
[02:04.05]To make you change your mind
[02:06.60]
[02:20.61]In the all night cafe
[02:22.50]
[02:23.60]At a quarter past eleven
[02:25.64]
[02:27.44]Same old man is sitting there on his own
[02:32.40]
[02:33.53]Looking at the world
[02:36.03]Over the rim of his tea-cup
[02:38.98]
[02:39.97]Each tea lasts an hour
[02:41.92]
[02:42.70]Then he wanders home alone
[02:45.37]
[02:47.79]So how can you tell me you're lonely
[02:52.94]
[02:55.13]And say for you that the sun don't shine
[02:58.35]
[03:00.92]Let me take you by the hand and
[03:04.00]Lead you through the streets of London
[03:07.15]
[03:08.12]I'll show you something
[03:10.54]To make you change your mind
[03:12.68]
[03:20.60]Have you seen the old man
[03:22.66]
[03:23.42]Outside the Seaman's Mission
[03:25.67]
[03:27.45]Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears
[03:32.29]
[03:33.38]In our winter city
[03:36.14]The rain cries a little pity
[03:38.69]
[03:39.84]For one more forgotten hero
[03:41.71]
[03:42.96]And a world that doesn't care
[03:45.30]
[03:47.62]So how can you tell me you're lonely
[03:52.78]
[03:55.21]And say for you that the sun don't shine
[03:58.31]
[04:00.96]Let me take you by the hand and
[04:03.97]Lead you through the streets of London
[04:06.92]
[04:08.16]I'll show you something
[04:10.42]To make you change your mind
