Herman's Hermits - Gaslight Street lyrics

rate me

There's a place on the edge of town<br />

Where the kids all hang around<br />

Cobbled streets and terraced houses<br />

Window boxes all around<br />

It's never changed in sixty years<br />

And it's tumbling down<br />

It's never really known by name<br />

It's called Gaslight Street<br />

Gaslight Street<br />

<br />

In the evening when the sun goes down<br />

And there ain't nobody else around<br />

The lamp lighter walks down the street<br />

Illumination, indiscreet<br />

It doesn't have much effect it seems<br />

He's wasting his time<br />

The lamp light don't shine so bright<br />

On Gaslight Street<br />

Gaslight Street<br />

<br />

Every night at nine <br />

There's children playing around the street<br />

Trying to dodge their parents <br />

When they call them in to go to sleep<br />

<br />

Monday morning and as a rule<br />

The place is quiet, they're all at school<br />

Lines of washing hang across the street<br />

A weary policeman walks his beat<br />

It's never changed in sixty years<br />

And it's tumbling down<br />

It's never really known by name<br />

It's called Gaslight Street<br />

Gaslight Street
