Waterloo sunrise kicking up the dawn
And nothin’ but the clouds to keep you warm
Soho streets are dirty and cold
Livin’ in a box be young or old
Governments say they do what they can
There’s thousands on the street in the promised land
Say there ain't a problem and they’ve got a plan
For the homeless woman, the down and out man
But, I know it just ain't right
Sleeping in the park on a Saturday night
Say this city ain't got no soul
You gotta break your heart on the London Road
Break your heart on the London Road
Seventy years he's the King of the road
Livin’ on an island in the sea of clothes
You know the sweet sixteen vagabond queen
Travelled to the city in search of her dreams
Livin’ in the subway you’re deep underground
The rumble of the tracks, the only sound
Got no money, got no home
And rainbow's end on a London road
But, I know it just ain't right
Sleeping in the park on a Saturday night
Say this city ain't got no soul
You gotta break your heart on the London Road
Break your heart on the London Road
And I know it just ain't right
Sleeping in the park on a Saturday night
Say this city ain't got no soul
You gotta break your heart on the London Road
Break your heart on the London Road
And I know it just ain't right
Sleeping in the park on a Saturday night
Say this city ain't got no soul
Break your heart on the London Road
Break your heart on the London Road
Rainbow's end on a London Road
Gonna break your heart on London Road
Gonna break your heart on the London Road
Gotta break your heart on London Road
Gotta break your heart on London Road

Street Riot

It was down on the street as midnight chimed,
The night had flashed a short circuit line,
I got caught in between,
Desire and defeat all the time,
I spoke to a man I vaguely knew,
Who said take care to care what you do,
'Cos the riot police are cutting through,
And they ain't gonna make an exception of you,
You better run run,
Before the hounds come,
Some fun when your down on one knee,
Run run before the hounds come,
Beer junkies out baiting the cops,
First with words and later with rocks,
So out came the guns the truncheons,
And all of the stops,
Wildfire panic when there aren't any rules,
Just run, run, run tonight is for fools,
Ladies leave your peacock boys,
Or you might not be aware of the noise,
You better run run,
Before the hounds come,
Some fun when your down on one knee,
Run run before the hounds come,
Tired eyes, tear gas, blood on the pavement,
Never did I see such a mess,
Tired eyes, tear gas, blood on the pavement,
I'm going back to my room to rest,
I’m gonna better run run,
Before the hounds come,
Some fun when your down on one knee,
Run run before the hounds come,
You better run, run, run, run, run,
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run.
