I Fliked to walk in the Bbsummer Fbreeze
Down FDalling Road by the Bbdead old Ctrees
And Fdrink with my friends in the BbHammersmith FBroadway
Dear Fdirty deBblightful old Cdrunken old Fdays
Then Fthe winter came down and I Bbloved it so Fdearly
The Fpubs and the bookies where you'd Bbspend all your Ctime
And Fthe old men that were singing when the Bbroses bloom Fagain
And Fturn like the Bbleaves to a Cnew summerFtime
Then Fthe winter comes down and I Bbcan't stand the Fchill
That Fcomes to the streets around BbChristmas Ctime
And FI'm buggered to damnation and I Bbhaven't got a Fpenny
To Fwander the Cdark streets of BbLondFon

And every time that I look on the first day of summer
Takes me back to the place where they gave ECT
And the drugged up psychos with death in their eyes
And how all of this really means nothing to me
Now the winter comes down and I can't stand the chill
That comes to the streets around Christmas time
And I'm buggered to damnation and I haven't got a penny
To wander the dark streets of London
Interlude: X 1
And every time that I look on the first day of summer
Takes me back to the place where they gave ECT
And the drugged up psychos with death in their eyes
And how all of this really means nothing to me
Now the winter comes down and I can't stand the chill
That comes to the streets around Christmas time
And I'm buggered to damnation and I haven't got a penny
To wander the dark streets of London
To wander the dark streets of London
To wander the dark streets of London
To wander the dark streets of London
Interlude: X 4 (to fade out)
