U don't see streets of beggars or homeless folks these days n no one goes hungry anymore because they r cared for by social workers.<br /><br />However Sam Hui sang dis song with soulful emotional feelings n tells D story of D poor side of London, very very touchingly!ERICBRONSON WONG [HONGKONG]noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-2429454057161304322021-03-02T22:40:18.433+08:002021-03-02T22:40:18.433+08:00THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING FOR LIKING THIS POST

Sad that affluent societies have forgotten those that have fallen between the cracks. A little financial handout does go a long way. So open your heart and money bags too. 🙏Cedric Collarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13781645102120196797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-89978549540131019582021-02-28T17:29:42.252+08:002021-02-28T17:29:42.252+08:00I love the Streets Of London and the Poor People O...I love the Streets Of London and the Poor People Of Paris.

Bag-ladies and scrawny, old men scavenging from the rubbish bins. Some younger ones too.<br /><br />When I approached one to talk to, she warned me off with a walking stick, "You don come here to MUH (my) territory. These bins are all mine..." as she pointed to the row of bins on the side-road.<br /><br />It's an old story re-told. But it's a reminder? And etched in my memory since. <br /><br />ANDY: Pop Music Not Pills. ©https://www.blogger.com/profile/10946638825812052608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-80900761172927278262012-12-29T16:30:16.353+08:002012-12-29T16:30:16.353+08:00Ralph got inspired to write the song when he and h...Ralph got inspired to write the song when he and his band were out busking and hitchhiking around Europe before they got discovered, actually it was in Paris the individual stories are taken from, but he choose to use London because he thought the name was most suitable.

If I interpret it right, this guy is basically saying "Quit complaining about your life, these people suffer more than you do!", which is such a massive demonstration of stupidity and lack of psychological understanding. <br /><br />If you think a beggar necessarily suffers more than anyone in the world, you are pretty close-minded in my opinion.<br /><br />Written in December, 2008.<br /> STORMALVhttp://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/13031/noreply@blogger.com
