how come this has no comments?
this is such a powerful song
okay well i think its about homeless girl who was given empty promises by the wrong crowd at a young age
so she left home and realised that things wernt all like they were cracked up to be
"and she said what became
of my promised fame
all i got was shame"
she could only find shelter with the other homeless people in the streets of london
"cardboard boxes for pillows"
"the streetside is my home"
yet she got into prostitution, for money, but emotionally she was unfulfilled
"i'm held by men at night but still i'm cold"
"she said all she'd ever been was a whore and a slave"
she knew there were other people like her, but she could talk to anyone
"i'm so lonely but you know i'm not alone"
he suggests help for her, to make her life better but we see shes given up all types of hope, and she went into self distruction
"and she didn't know if she had any soul left to save"
"well i tried to hold on but my grip it just was not that strong
i can still see her eyes as she fell and she fell for so long"
"i cried for the cutey of kings cross the day she derailed"
the last part i think isnt about her, but about all homeless young people whove thrown their lives away ignorantly
the holloways are trying to speak out to people to help the "helpless/homeless/poor" because theyre problems will be bigger than any of our materialized ones
this beatifully links with the first verse
"i'll bore you with details and open your mind"
