London Town

[Chorus]
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
Silver rain was falling down upon the dirty ground of London town

[Verse 1]
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 2]
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]

[Chorus]
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
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
