Herman's Hermits - Gaslight Street lyrics
rate meThere'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
