What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Have you seen the old man
2
In the closed-down market
3
Kicking up the paper,
4
With his worn out shoes?
5
In his eyes you see no pride
6
Hand held loosely at his side
7
Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news
8
[Chorus]
9
So how can you tell me you're lonely,
10
And say for you that the sun don't shine?
11
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
12
I'll show you something to make you change your mind
13
Have you seen the old girl
14
Who walks the streets of London
15
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags?
16
She's no time for talking,
17
She just keeps right on walking
18
Carrying her home in two carrier bags.
19
[Chorus]
20
In the all night cafe
21
At a quarter past eleven,
22
Same old man is sitting there on his own
23
Looking at the world
24
Over the rim of his tea-cup,
25
Each tea lasts an hour
26
Then he wanders home alone
27
[Chorus]
28
Have you seen the old man
29
Outside the Seaman's Mission
30
Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears
31
In our winter city,
32
The rain cries a little pity
33
For one more forgotten hero
34
And a world that doesn't care
35
[Chorus]
