  Streets of London
  
  Have you seen the old man
  In the closed-down market
  Kicking up the paper,
  with his worn out shoes?
  In his eyes you see no pride
  And held loosely at his side
  Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news
  
  So how can you tell me you're lonely,
  And say for you that the sun don't shine?
  Let 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 and her clothes in rags?
  She's no time for talking,
  She just keeps right on walking
  Carrying her home in two carrier bags.
  
  So how can you tell me you're lonely,
  And say for you that the sun don't shine?
  Let 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
  
  In the all night cafe
  At a quarter past eleven,
  Same old man is sitting there on his own
  Looking at the world
  Over the rim of his tea-cup,
  Each tea last an hour
  Then he wanders home alone
  
  So how can you tell me you're lonely,
  And say for you that the sun don't shine?
  Let 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
  
  And have you seen the old man
  Outside the seaman's mission
  Memory fading with
  The medal ribbons that he wears.
  In our winter city,
  The rain cries a little pity
  For one more forgotten hero
  And a world that doesn't care
  
  So how can you tell me you're lonely,
  And say for you that the sun don't shine?
  Let 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.

  lol, I love how you describe your spelling as "awfall"! brilliant!
  
  dont worry though, being able to spell doesnt prove intelligence, i can spell just fine and i'm a dumb shit
  
  I have to read your stuff now though, just to see how you manage difficult words!
  
  take care
