Have you seen the old man
In the closed down market
Kicking up the papers
With his worn out shoes
In his eyes you see no pride
And held loosely by his side
Yesterday’s paper telling yesterday’s news
So how can you tell me you’re lo-one-ly
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
