London Town Lyrics By Wings

    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

    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

    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

    interlude

    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

    interlude

    someone somewhere has to know
    silver rain was falling down upon the dirty ground of london town
