about
Simon sings this one, as he shares postal experience with my father. I imagine the central instrumental section as snow falling over Harlesden streets in the still hours before dawn…. but then I might be over-romanticising it.
lyrics
Five a.m. again
Off to the streets of Harlesden
Laverne and Shirley played round here
Back when we were just starting
Pushing envelopes
On the streets of Harlesden
They filmed some of ‘Spaced’ round here
Of that I’m pretty certain…
Mr City Fox
On the streets of Harlesden
He is making his way home
Slipping through people’s gardens
Out in the snow again
But I won’t get disheartened
I’ve been walking round for days
On the streets of Harlesden
Five a.m. again
Off to the streets of Harlesden
If I ignore you, in a daze
Then I beg your pardon
I dream of being asleep
But I won’t get disheartened
I’ve been walking round for days
On the streets of Harlesden
I’ve been walking round for days
On the streets of Harlesden…
Off to the streets of Harlesden
Laverne and Shirley played round here
Back when we were just starting
Pushing envelopes
On the streets of Harlesden
They filmed some of ‘Spaced’ round here
Of that I’m pretty certain…
Mr City Fox
On the streets of Harlesden
He is making his way home
Slipping through people’s gardens
Out in the snow again
But I won’t get disheartened
I’ve been walking round for days
On the streets of Harlesden
Five a.m. again
Off to the streets of Harlesden
If I ignore you, in a daze
Then I beg your pardon
I dream of being asleep
But I won’t get disheartened
I’ve been walking round for days
On the streets of Harlesden
I’ve been walking round for days
On the streets of Harlesden…
