This is an awesome song. So simple, and yet so poignant.
It's all about watching poor, homeless, hungry people begging in London, but they're all ignored by the rich and powerful - the kind of people that have the money to do something about it and help them, but who end up spending it all on big houses and yachts.
I love the line about working time, paying taxes and lining the rich's bank accounts with your pay in the hope that something will get done, yet it seems to just stay in their pockets. Nice one Simon.
