ini judul lagu, akhir 90-an, ada sebuah grup menyanyikannya dengan sangat indah, tapi aku lupa nama grupnya. kemarin, aku dengar Rika siaran oldies moment, dan dia mainkan Streets of London yang dinyanyikan oleh mary hopkin, hmm.. ada kata yang berubah memang dari lagu aselinya yang ini:
Well did you see the old man
Outside the seamen's mission
Never is a fading with the medals that he wears
And did you see the old man
Outside the seamen's mission
He's just another hero from a land that doesn't care
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And don't you say to me your sun don't shine
And have you seen the old girl
Who walks the Streets Of London
She ain't got no money and she's all dressed in rags
And have you seen the old girl
Who walks the Streets Of London
She carries her old knickers in two polythene bags
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And don't you say to me your sun don't shine
Well let me take you by the hand
And lead you through your Streets Of London
I'll show you something you'll never understand
Well let me take you by the hand
And drag you through your Streets Of London
I'll show you something that'll make you really sick
Well let me take you by the hand
And lead you through your Streets Of London
I'll show you something we'll never understand
Well let me take you by the hand
And drag you through your Streets Of London
I'll show you sonething that'll make you really sick
apa yang istimewa dari lagu ini, adalah lirik pada bagian refrain menurutku, sedikit menyindir orang-orang lonelyplanet kyanya... hehehe, tapi entahlah, aku suka.. syairnya asyik.. melody musiknya juga indah, mau dibawakan dalam versi ballada, RnB, Jazzy ... kekuatannya sudah nyata.
tapi.. aku ngga beneran pengen ke jalanan kota London lho.. aku pikir, aku suka lagunya saja, tapi kalau suatu saat aku bisa jalan-jalan di jalanan kota London, dengan.. uhmmm...
, tentu saja aku akan menuliskannya juga. sambil nyanyi lagu ini barangkali?
