RobbieWilson Is 'Streets of London' a folk song (92* d) RE: Is 'Streets of London' a folk song 11 Aug 08


'What a wonderful song!! Despite it's title and refrain it's really about Paris, though the one identified character used to trawl the trendy clubs of London, doing very nicely for herself, thank you!!

I think I will just listen in my ignorance and let the song bring to mind what I have seen with my own eyes on the streets of Glasgow, Wolverhampton, Paris, Stockholm but most markedly when I lived in London. It's a shame that McTell chap couldn't bring to public view the hardship of homeless people or the indifference that the general public show to them as well as Jack and Bonzo have done. Sadly my ignorance extends to their music and I will just have to settle for second best.
