·····AND LET ME MAKE AN IMPORTANT POINT REGARDING 'STREETS OF LONDON'

~~ I am by no means disregarding its excellence as a piece of creative art, either as music or as verse. I think its lyric should be included in any worthwhile anthology of 20C English Poetry, along with, say, Peter Bellamy's Farewell To The Land, MacColl's Champion At Keeping Them Rolling, &c, as well as more obvious inclusions as work by Eliot, Dylan Thomas, Edward Thomas, Owen, Sassoon & so forth... It is only some inappropriateness in the way it is performed which I am animadverting against here.
