London Town

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Walking down the sidewalk on a purple afternoon I was accosted by a barker playing a simple tune upon his flute Toot, toot, toot, toot [Refrain] Silver rain was falling down upon the dirty ground of London town [Verse 2] People pass me by on my imaginary street Ordinary people it's impossible to meet Holding conversations that are always incomplete Well, I don't know Oh, where are there places to go? Someone, somewhere has to know I don't know [Verse 3] Out of work again, the actor entertains his wife With the same old stories of his ordinary life Maybe he exaggerates the trouble and the strife Well, I don't know Oh, where are there places to go? Someone, somewhere has to know [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] Crawling down the pavement on a Sunday afternoon I was arrested by a rozzer wearing a pink balloon about his foot Toot, toot, toot, toot [Refrain] Silver rain was falling down upon the dirty ground of London town [Bridge] Ooh (Ooh, ooh, ooh) Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, oo-ooh Ooh, ooh [Instrumental Break] [Outro] Someone, somewhere has to know Silver rain was falling down upon the dirty ground of London town (Laaa)
