| | Add Your New Review About The Song The Reviews about Streets Of London (page 1/1) ------ performed by Ralph McTell I'll play it with compassion. | Reviewer: Sarah Kelly | 2/14/2008 This song is like an old friend | Reviewer: Martin Cox | 12/2/2007 I picked up my guitar today and without thinking played through the chord sequence of this song. When I realised what I was playing I started to sing, but could only remember the last verse, so I was glad to find this set of lyrics. It just felt to natural to sing and play it again, then I realised I probably haven't done so for nearly 30 years! I used to sing it all the time while at school and even performed it in assembly once... Great song. streets of london (our way) | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/30/2007 i used to sing this at primary in the school choir and it made the year 3 teacher cry (which at the time you can imagine we all thought was pretty funny!) and the song for us was split in to 4/5 parts 2 people did solo's on parts of the first verse we all sang the chorus all the time and and so on and then everyone sang the last verse. i can still even now remember my few lines: in the all nightcafe, at a quarter past eleven, same ols man sitting there on his own (my friend sang the next line then together we sang) each tea lasts an hour and he wanders home alone. then it was just another song to me, but now as i take singing more seriosly and i am older i understand the meaning, and just like my old year 3 teacher, it makes me cry! For my Father | Reviewer: Jeannie | 6/13/2007 I had to have the words to this. My father was born and raised in the east end of London and remembers WWII well. He told me many stories over the years. This song just says it all and my only question remains - Why haven't things changed? I love this | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/3/2007 This song is so true, people complain about so much but fail to see that others have it worse. Classic that has stood the test of time | Reviewer: Ruth | 7/5/2006 Been singing the bits I could remember from time to time over the years and now I wanted to have all the lyrics. Simple and to the point. Thing is, why are things still the same???!! We should be able to say in 2006, that things are different now. If anything, the divide has grown. An excellent touching song | Reviewer: BHS | 2/9/2006 An extremely touching song which depicts the unfortunately true but darker side of London. A side of London that many are not aware of. The song makes one appreciate life. Streets of London | Reviewer: ALAN K | 11/24/2005 What a fantastic piece of songwriting.The lyrics are so heartfelt and really quite moving.A milestone achievement. Todays alleged songwriters could learn alot from this fantastic piece of social commentary set to music. Simply magnificent. The Streets Of London | Reviewer: Anne MacLatchy-Muyce | 11/20/2005 I Just want the words of this song. I was on holiday in Ireland with my mother. We met Ralph's Mother and I can remember her saying that Ralph use to write his music on the kitchen table. Add Your New Review About The Song | | | |||||||||
