text: who sing the song named street of london?   ralph mctell -  streets of london  have you seen the old man  in the closed-down market  kicking up the paper,  with his worn out shoes?  in his eyes you see no pride  and 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.   chorus  in the all night cafe at a quarter past eleven,  same old man is sitting there on his own  looking at the world  over the rim of his tea-cup,  each tea last an hour  then he wanders home alone   chorus  and have you seen the old man  outside the seaman's mission  memory fading with  the medal ribbons that he wears.  in our winter city,  the rain cries a little pity  for one more forgotten hero  and a world that doesn't care   chorus
