Gaslite Street - Herman's Hermits
Written by：Derek Leckenby/Keith Hopwood
There's a place on the edge of town
Edge of town
Where the kids all hang around
Hang around
Cobbled streets and terraced houses
Window boxes all around is it
It's never changed in sixty years
And it's tumbling down
It's never really known by name
It's called Gaslight street
Gaslight street
In the evening when the sun goes down
Goes down
And there ain't nobody else around
Else around
The lamp lighter walks down the street
Illumination indiscreet
It doesn't have much effect it seems
He's wasting his time
The lamp light don't shine so bright
On Gaslight street
Gaslight street
Every night at nine
There's children playing around the street
Trying to dodge their parents
When they call them in
To go to sleep
Monday morning and as a rule
As a rule
The place is quiet they're all at school
All at school
Lines of washing hang across the street
A weary policeman
Walks his beat
It's never changed in sixty years
And it's tumbling down
It's never really known by name
It's called Gaslight street
Gaslight street
