- Street in the city.
- Street in the city on a working day.
- Street in the city.
- Street in the city on a working day.

- There's a man up on that ledge.
- He's only cleaning windows.
- What a shame, who's to blame,
- for the pain with his sin,
- Gonna lean back on my wall
- and pray for him to fall.
- See that man going in the bank with a blue suit?
- He's carrying a bag full of very important papers.
- There's old Mac trying to busk with his new flute.
- Did you read about the Cambridge raper?

- Street in the city on a working day.
- Street in the city.
- Street in the city on a working day.
- Those girls pass every day.
- They seem to think I'm funny.
- It's just a game that they're playing
- till they can claim their personal man.
- Gonna lean back on my wall
- and pray for her knickers to fall.
- See that woman with a bun in her hair?
- Don't she know that ain't still done anywhere?
- See that man going in the Wig and Pen?
- He was charged with telling lies again.
- I see the world go by as I lean against my wall.
- I watch as Fleet Street makes new heroes rise and
fall.
- The news is written in the eyes of us all.
- One is a sinner.
- One is a saint,
- but most of us worry about showing up late.
- I'm gonna lean back on my wall
- and pray for him to fall.
