Soho (Needless To Say)
Al Stewart

Rainstorm, brainstorm, faces in the maelstrom

Huddle by the puddles in the shadows where the drains run

Hot dogs, wet clogs, clicking up the sidewalk

Disappearing into the booze shop


Rainbow queues stand down by the newsstand

Waiting for the late show

Pin ball, sin hall, minds in free fall

Chocolate colored ladies making eyes through the smoke pall


Soho, needless to say

I'm alone on your streets on a Friday evening

I've been here all of the day

I'm going nowhere with nowhere to go


Football supporters, they're taking the waters

They're looking round for the twilight daughters

Non stop strip club, pornographic bookshop

Come into the back and take your time and have a good look


Old man laughs with flowers in his hair

Newspaper headline

Middle East Deadline

Jazz musicians are down on the breadline


Soho, needless to say

I'm alone on your streets on a Friday evening

I've been here all of the day

I'm going nowhere with nowhere to go


Soho feeds the needs and hides the deeds, the mind that bleeds

Disenchanted, downstream in the night

Soho hears the lies, the twisted cries, the lonely sighs

Till she seems lost in dreams


The sun goes down on a neon eon

Though you'd have a job explaining it to Richard Coeur de Lion

Animation, bar conversation, anticipation, disinclination

Poor old Wino turns with dust in his eyes


Begs for the dregs from the bottom of the kegs, man

You've never seen a lady lay down and spread her legs like


Soho, needless to say

I'm alone on your sheets on a Friday evening

I've been here all of the day

I'm going nowhere with nowhere to go


Soho, needless to say

I'm alone on your streets or am I dreaming?

I've been here all of the day

I'm going nowhere with nowhere to go
