Southside Tenements

歌詞

London City's Southside Tenements Rusty cans, broken cars, cracked cement Someone blocked the drains, someone's smashed a vent In a Southside ... Southside Tenement London City's Southside Tenements Flags are flying for some royal event People hanging out the St. Paul's windows Linin' up on the pavements and on The High Street And the City Road and from Crossfields And the Southside Tenements Well I get restive, and I got to leave I'm taking the shortcut home Past the arches, by the railway Where an old friend swears that he could save me For a crazy boy he's okay For a Southside ... a Southside cavalcader Hear the haunted ... the haunted serenader Just a memory a-fadin' on The Broadway Fading from the Southside The Southside Tenements Sleepwalkin' to The Oxford Arms No-one noticed warehouse alarms Slamming dominoes in the back bar Safe from harm, by The Southside The Southside Tenements By The Southside, The Southside Tenements London City's Southside Tenements Cops sayin' that my kids are thieves And they say "The Bill are bent" Well I don't know, I'm only sharin' rent In a Southside, a Southside Tenement A Southside Tenement London City's Southside Tenements Broken parts, broken hearts, cracked cement Some spray-can words 'bout love and gold - remember them? And a madman cryin' "Nobody's condemned" Not even Southside, Southside Tenements And I remember Southside Tenements
