ย
Come walk the streets of crime,
And colour bright the corners
Of low repute.
See the dazzling nightlife glow
Beyond the dawn and burning,
In the heart of Soho.
Hear the market cries,
And see their wares displayed
Through the window of your soul.
ย
Come watch the naked dance
That spins before your very eyes,
Naked like the sun.
Step inside where men before
Have drunk their fill till senseless,
The dreams fade and die.
And free and easy
Does the blood-red wine come flowing,
From the glass to your veins.
ย
As the midday dream is silent,
In the gardens where you're resting
From the troubles of your mind.
And though the sun is burning brightly,
All within the garden
Is either sleeping or is dead.
And through the afternoon,
The buzzing bees do harmonise
With the rushing city lights
ย
