Translation
Bilingual
She collected bottle tops, to provide a meal at seven years of age
Broken fingernails and the sun upon her back that was her way
And as the wind blows, the dirt between her toes tells her story
Just an ordinary day
With her childhood stripped away
No joy, no glory
Ah, there's a woman in the street
Sells her body to make ends meet
To feed her baby
Oh, that's what's going on, on a different street
He was quite the stand-up guy, and everything in life was his to gain
But addiction took control
And all the dreams he built was washed away
For the price of flying free, he became an enemy to all that loved him
And with no place else to live
He resides under a bridge somewhere in London
A young boy is on the run, cause his prints are on that gun
Isn't that crazy
Oh, that's what's going on, on a different street
