伦敦街头
很喜欢这样平静而简单的旋律，其中的人文情怀尤为可贵，给人不少触动。
听着Sinéad O'Connor 沉静、迷人的歌声，情不自禁地跟随她，穿越伦敦大街小巷，走进一幅幅画面：
那个在已经收摊的市场里的老人，用他那双破旧的鞋子，踢起地上昔日的报纸；
那个游荡在伦敦街头的老太太，衣衫褴褛，只是不断走着，携带着两个购物袋回家；
那个孤独地坐在咖啡馆里的老人，看着外面的世界，每杯茶都喝上一个小时；
还有，水手收容所外面的那个老人，回忆随着他挂在身上的勋章彩带一起逐渐褪色。
繁华落尽，那个时代逐渐被人淡忘。
他们愿意分享自己的经历，渴望有人倾听。
可我们似乎太忙，很少留心这些落寞的身影。
他们孤独地活在自己的回忆里。
......
以后，我们会不会也就是他们？
当你觉得很孤单，阳光不再普照，去看看外面的世界，你的想法将会改变。
自勉之。
Streets of London
/Sinéad O'Connor (歌曲试听)
Have you seen the old man
In the closed-down market
Kicking up the paper,
with his worn out shoes?
In his eyes you see no pride
Hand held loosely at his side
Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news
So how can you tell me you're lonely,
And say for you that the sun don't shine?
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something to make you change your mind
Have you seen the old girl
Who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags?
She's no time for talking,
She just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home in two carrier bags.
Chorus
In the all night cafe
At a quarter past eleven,
Same old man is sitting there on his own
Looking at the world
Over the rim of his tea-cup,
Each tea last an hour
Then he wanders home alone
Chorus
And have you seen the old man
Outside the seaman's mission
Memory fading with
The medal ribbons that he wears.
In our winter city,
The rain cries a little pity
For one more forgotten hero
And a world that doesn't care
Chorus
