Streets of London

And, you know, it's been my driver ever since.

So when I had the blip in my graph and had a hit song with Streets of London back in the day, I was very young when I wrote it, and it was enough to let me know that I really wasn't interested in In show business, I've always flown a little bit under the radar.

My friends have played traditional music where the music is more important than the artist in many cases.

It's the interpretive power of this great music that's like pre-internet.

I met him years ago in Dublin.

He's such a lovely man.

I told him of my aunts who were the Johnsons group who had a hit with Streets of London.

As a teenager in school, our little group sang it in the Irish Slug Gaelin competition and came second.

Yesterday's papers telling yesterday's news.

So how can you tell me you're lonely and say for you the sun won't shine? 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 Under clothes and rags.

She's no time for talking.

She just keeps right on walking.

Carrying her home into a carrier bag.

So how can you tell me you're lonely And say for you the sun won't shine Let me take you by the hand And lead you through the streets of London I'll show you something And then he wanders all alone Can you tell me you're lonely And say for you the sun won't shine Let me take you by the hand And lead you through the streets of London I'll show you something to make it change you

I want to give you the truth, folks.

The truth about America.

And I looked it up.

The song is called The Streets of London by Ralph McTell.

And it basically is a song about social apathy and human alienation.

It's a song about somebody complaining about how bad their lives is as they're walking through the streets of London and seeing like homeless people and poor people and things like that.

So fits perfectly.

perfectly everything that Moore is trying to say about what this England would be like.
