Dark Streets Of London Lyrics - Red Roses For Me - Pogues

I like to walk in the summer breeze 

Down Dalling Road by the dead old trees 

And drink with my friends in the Hammersmith Broadway 

Dear, dirty, delightful, old drunken old days 

Then the winter came down and I loved it so dearly 

The pubs and the bookies where youd spend all your time 

And the old men that were singing when the roses bloom again 

And turn like the leaves to a new summertime 

Now the winter comes down, I cant stand the chill 

That comes to the streets around Christmas time 

Im buggered to damnation and I havent got a penny 

To wander the dark streets of London 

And every time that I look on the first day of summer 

Takes me back to the place where they gave ECT 

And the drugged up psychos with death in their eyes 

And how all of this really means nothing to me 

Now the winter comes down, I cant stand the chill 

That comes to the streets around Christmas time 

Im buggered to damnation and I havent got a penny 

To wander the dark streets of London 

And every time that I look on the first day of summer 

Takes me back to the place where they gave ECT 

And the drugged up psychos with death in their eyes 

And how all of this really means nothing to me 

Now the winter comes down, I cant stand the chill 

That comes to the streets around Christmas time 

Im buggered to damnation and I havent got a penny 

To wander the dark streets of London 

To wander the dark streets of London 

To wander the dark streets of London
