Levellers Hope Street lyrics

Levellers
Zeitgeist
Hope Street
There's a young boy in the queue
Not much else her for him to do
He has had a drink, he has had a few
Down the pub on Hope Street

Dear old lady you're looking thin
Got a shopping bag with your life in
Your old man's going through the bins
So it goes on Hope Street

Chorus
Rain on me comes pouring down
Clean the dirt off this old town
Tell the sun to come around
Show his face on Hope Street


There's a fight right down the street
The betting shop has got him beat
Blew his money for the week
On a horse called Hope Street


There're no old faces out today
Someone took them all away
Cleaning up or so they say
The dirty face of Hope street

Chorus


Every day I look at you
Dressed up in you ties of blue
Saying there's not much else that you can do
To help the kids on Hope Street

You don't seem to even care
That it was you who put them there
You seem to think they like it there
Hanging out on Hope Street

Chorus
