He lives in a one room flat in Soho.
He reads by the neon from ‘cross the street.
And he plays guitar down on Old Compton,
Peddling songs to the wounded feet.

So it may not be snowing yet, but damn it’s cold,
And his fingers start to ache.
But the hat is empty, and he needs more songs,
So he can end the day in that bar on Denmark Street.

Sitting by the fire with a pint for warmth,
He’ll tell you that this has been a real tough year.
But January is approaching soon,
And you’ll always find him every afternoon,
In that bar on Denmark Street.

(Heeyah, heeyah, heeyah, heeyoho)
(Heeyah, heeyah, heeyah, heeyoho)
(Heeyah, heeyah, heeyah, heeyoho)
(Heeyah, heeyah, heeyah, heeyoho)
(you know, you know, you know you can be)(Heeyah, heeyah, heeyah, heeyoho)
(you know, you know, you know you can be)(Heeyah, heeyah, heeyah, heeyoho)
(you know, you know, you know you can be)(Heeyah, heeyah, heeyah, heeyoho)
(you know, you know, you know you can be)(Heeyah, heeyah, heeyah, heeyoho)

It’s been awhile since I set foot in this town,
It really hasn’t changed that much.
And I look around to see if I can find him,
But there’s no one sitting by that church.

The streets seem far too quiet without his songs,
Hearing that guitar play out its tune.
And maybe he’s just gone away, got sick of this town and maybe time,
Just ran out.

But in the bar that night,
The crowd is talking.
""Have you heard about that song that plays on the radio?""
You’ll hear it whispering through the streets,
The quiet symphonies,
And his voice rings out through the bar on Denmark Street.
(Heeyah, heeyah, heeyah, heeyoho)
(Heeyah, heeyah, heeyah, heeyoho)
(Heeyah, heeyah, heeyah, heeyoho)
The bar on Denmark Street. (Heeyah, heeyah, heeyah, heeyoho)

(Heeyah, heeyah, heeyah, heeyoho)
(Heeyah, heeyah, heeyah, heeyoho)

(Heeyah, heeyah, heeyah, heeyoho)
(Heeyah, heeyah, heeyah, heeyoho)
(Heeyah, heeyah, heeyah, heeyoho)
(Heeyah, heeyah, heeyah, heeyoho)
(Heeyah, heeyah, heeyah, heeyoho)
