歌里唱：你看见过一个老人在关闭的市场里，用他破旧的鞋子踢打报纸吗？他的眼光里没有骄傲，腋下夹着昨日的报纸讲着昨日的故事．
你怎么能说你就是孤单的，你的太阳并没有照耀着你？让我拉着你的手领你到伦敦的街头，那里有些人和事会改变你的看法．
午夜十一点半的咖啡馆，老人孤独地坐着，透过茶杯他凝视这世界，一杯茶捱过一个时辰，末了他一个人蹒跚回家．．．．
这首名为《Streets of London》（伦敦街头）的歌，写的是伦敦街头的老人，以及歌手对老人的悲悯情怀，苍凉的画面、忧郁的吉他声，安抚着无数落寞的心。不知道几十年后我们不再年轻，那时回想起来会是何种心情，是否像歌里唱得那样，当繁华落尽,等待我们的将会是什么。雨带着一点怜悯在哭泣，为不止一个被忘却的英雄和不在乎他们的世界……
Have you seen the old man
你可曾见过那么老的一个人
In the closed down market
在市场打烊后
Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes
拖着他破烂了的鞋子踢着被丢弃的报纸
In his eyes you see no pride
在他的眼睛里你看不到自豪的神采
Hands held loosely at his side
双手散漫的垂在身旁
Yesterday's paper, telling yesterday's news
过期的报纸上，写着过期的故事
So how can you tell me you're lonely
你怎么能告诉我你是孤独的呢
And say for you that the sun don't shine
说太阳都不肯为你散发光亮
Let me take you by the hand
让我牵着你的手
And lead you through the streets of London
带着你走过伦敦的街头吧
I'll show you something
让你看看那儿发生的事情
To make you change your mind
它们会把你来改变
Have you seen the old girl
你可见过那年华不再的女子
Who walks the streets of London
姗姗走过伦敦的街头
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags

She's no time for talking

She just keeps right on walking
就只是一劲儿向前走着
Carrying her home in two carrier bags
带着两只旅行包，那是她的全部家当
So how can you tell me you're lonely

And say for you that the sun don't shine

In the old night cafe at a quarter past eleven
十一点一刻，古旧的咖啡夜店里
The same old man sitting there on his own
还是那同一个老人独自坐在那儿
Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
越过他茶杯的边缘看着这个世界
Each tea lasts an hour, and he wanders home alone
每一杯他都会喝一个小时，然后拖着孤独的脚步回家去
Have you seen the old man

Outside the seaman's mission
他们结束了海上的漂泊使命
Memory fading with the minor ribands that he wears
记忆和他佩戴的缎带一起慢慢褪色
In our winter city the rain cries little pity

For one more forgotten hero

And a world which doesn't care
和这毫不为此牵挂的世界
So how can you tell me you're lonely
