London City's Southside Tenements
 
 Rusty cans, broken cars, cracked cement
 
 Someone blocked the drains, someone's smashed a vent
 
 In a southside. . . A Southside Tenement
 
  
  London City's Southside Tenements
 
 Flags are flying for some royal event
 
 People hanging out the St. Paul's windows
 
 Linin' up on the pavements and on The High Street
 
 And on City Road and from Crossfields
 
 And the Southside Tenements.
  
 
 I get restive, I got to leave
 
 Take the shortcut home, 
 
 Past the arches, by the railway
 
 Where an' old friend swears that he could save me
 
 For a crazy boy he's okay
 
 For a southside. . . A southside cavalcade
 
 Hear the haunted. . . the haunted serenader
 
 Just a memory a-fadin' on The Broadway
 
 Fading from the southside 
 
 The Southside Tenements
  
 
 Sleepwalkin' to The Oxford Arms
 
 No-one noticing warehouse alarms
 
 Slamming dominoes in the back bar 
 
 Safe from harm, by The Tenements
 
 The Southside Tenements
  
 
 London City Southside Tenements
 
 Cops say my kids are thieves
 
 They say "The Bill are bent"
 
 I dunno, I'm only sharin' rent
 
 In a southside
 
 A Southside Tenement.
  
 
 London City's Southside Tenements
 
 Broken parts, broken hearts, cracked cement
 
 Some spray-can words 'bout love an' gold - remember them?
 
 And a madman cryin' "Nobody's condemned"
 
 Not even Southside, Southside Tenements
 
 And I remember Southside Tenements.
