Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Walking down the sidewalk on a purple afternoon
I was accosted by a barker playing a simple tune
Upon his flute
Toot, toot, toot, toot
Silver rain was falling down
Upon the dirty ground of London Town
[Verse 2]
People pass me by on my imaginary street
Ordinary people it's impossible to meet
Holding conversations that are always incomplete
Well, I don't know
[Verse 3]
Oh where are there places to go?
Someone somewhere has to know
I don't know
[Verse 4]
Out of work again, the actor entertains his wife
With the same old stories of his ordinary life
Maybe he exaggerates the trouble and the strife
Well, I don't know
[Verse 5]
Oh where are there places to go?
Someone somewhere has to know
[Verse 6]
Crawling down the pavement on a Sunday afternoon
I was arrested by a rozzer wearing a pink balloon
About his foot
Toot, toot, toot, toot
Silver rain was falling down
Upon the dirty ground of London Town
[Verse 7]
Someone somewhere has to know
Silver rain was falling down
Upon the dirty ground of London Town
(La la)
