Walkin' On The Streets Of London

People running round all over the globe

Businesses up and down at the drop of a hat

Pushing up numbers on the latest fad

Ever changing copy of an international ad

Over in the far east they excel in math

Down in Guatemala that's a different path

Higher in the Arctic on the glacier plain

Testing new inventions, tweeting names

Ah we are all one nation, racing on ahead

One mammoth herd, galloping and stumbling

And all the while they're walking on the streets of London

Walking on the streets of London

Newspapers still inform in black and white

Remnants of an age we must not lose sight

Somehow wishing we could all slow down

Take a break and bring a sense of calm around

Is there something simple that a child needs

Is there still a book that he can hold and read

Is there still the joy of eagles flying free

Soaring through the blue Pacific breeze

Ah there's no need to notice the magic of it all

There's a threat that's caused the fear and thundering

And all the while they're walking on the streets of London

Walking on the streets of London

I've been lost just south of Phuket

Looking at the rock formations jutting out of the bay

Out of the bay

While on a boulevard the masses surge on

Down a cobbled stone street due west of Norway

All the complications of a foiled plan

Fifty combinations touched by different hands

Difficult the questions hard to comprehend

Where is all the madness soon to end

Ah falling population, destiny is crazed

Can't we all stop the mindless blundering

And all the while they're walking on the streets of London

Walking on the streets of London

We've got to stop the constant beat

The pounding feet, the rising heat

That won't retreat

Walking on the streets of London

We've got to stop the constant beat

The pounding feet, the rising heat

That won't retreat

Walking on the streets of London
