soho (needless to say)

Singer:al stewart

rainstorm

brainstorm

faces in the maelstrom

huddle by the puddles in the shadows where the drains run

hot dogs

wet clogs clicking up the sidewalk

disappearing into the booze shop

rainbow queues stand down by the news stand

waiting for the late show

pin ball

sin hall

minds in free fall

chocolate-coloured ladies making eyes through the smoke-pall

soho

i'm alone on your streets on a friday evening

i've been here all of the day

i'm going nowhere with nowhere to go

football supporters taking the waters

they're looking round for the twilight daughters

non-stop strip club pornographic bookshop

come into the back and take your time and have a good look

old man laughs with flowers in his hair

newspaper headline middle east deadline"
