Gaslite Street Lyrics
There's a place on the edge of town
Where the kids all hang around
Cobbled streets & terraced houses
Window boxes all around
It's never changed in sixty years
& it's tumbling down
It's never really know by name
It's called Gaslite Street
Gaslite Street
In the evening when the sun goes down
& there ain't nobody else around
The lamp lighter walks down the street
Illumination, indiscreet
It doesn't have much effect it seems
He's wasting his time
The lamp light don't shine so bright
On Gaslite Street
Gaslite Street
Every night at nine
There's children playing around the street
Trying to dodge their parents
When they call them in to go to sleep
Monday morning & as a rule
The place is quiet, they're all at school
Lines of washing hang across the street
A weary policeman walks his beat
It's never changed in sixty years
& it's tumbling down
It's never really known by name
It's called Gaslite Street
Gaslite Street
Where the kids all hang around
Cobbled streets & terraced houses
Window boxes all around
& it's tumbling down
It's never really know by name
It's called Gaslite Street
Gaslite Street
& there ain't nobody else around
The lamp lighter walks down the street
Illumination, indiscreet
He's wasting his time
The lamp light don't shine so bright
On Gaslite Street
Gaslite Street
There's children playing around the street
Trying to dodge their parents
When they call them in to go to sleep
The place is quiet, they're all at school
Lines of washing hang across the street
A weary policeman walks his beat
& it's tumbling down
It's never really known by name
It's called Gaslite Street
Gaslite Street
