Have you seen the old man
In the closed down market
Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes
In his eyes you see no pride
Hands held loosely at his side
Yesterday's paper, telling yesterday's news
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind
Have you seen the old girl
Who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
She's no time for talking
She just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home in two carrier bags
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind
Have you seen the old man
Outside the seaman's mission
Memory fading with the minor ribands that he wears
In our winter city the rain cries little pity
For one more forgotten hero
And a world which doesn't care
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind

[00:24.92]In his eyes you see no pride
[00:28.00]Hands held loosely at his side
[00:31.55]Yesterday's papers
[00:33.71]Telling yesterday's news

[01:57.33]To make you change your mind
[02:12.98]In the all-night cafe
[02:15.63]At a quarter past eleven
[02:19.70]Same old man sitting there on his own
[02:25.22]Looking at the world over the rim of his tea-cup
[02:31.43]Each tea lasts an hour
[02:34.19]Then he wanders home alone
[02:39.07]Have you seen the old man
[02:41.75]Outside the Seaman's Mission?
[02:45.29]Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears
[02:51.33]In our winter city, the rain cries a little pity

歌詞解析
一句話主旨
透過描寫倫敦街頭的孤獨者，呼籲人們正視社會邊緣人的苦難與價值。
主題
關注社會底層人物的生存狀態，批判物質主義社會對弱者的漠視，並探討孤獨與人性關懷的對立。
情緒
低沉、悲憫中帶有反思與溫柔的呼籲，隱含對現實的無力感與對人性的期待。
意象與手法
運用「破舊鞋履」「殘破報紙」「塵垢髮絲」等具象描寫，強化貧困與被遺忘的意象；透過重複提問「你有沒有見過…」形成敘事節奏，並以「帶你走過倫敦街頭」作為轉折，暗示視野的轉換與共情的可能。
重點句解讀
1. 「Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes」
破舊鞋履踢動報紙的畫面，象徵老人在社會結構中被邊緣化，連廢紙都成為他與世界接觸的媒介。
2. 「Carrying her home in two carrier bags」
女性僅以兩個塑膠袋負荷家的重量，隱喻貧窮女性的無聲掙扎，與「無時間說話」形成對比，強化生存的艱辛。
3. 「Memory fading with the minor ribands that he wears」
「微不足道的勳章」暗示戰爭英雄被時代遺忘的命運，批判社會對歷史與貢獻的漠視。
適合情境
社會觀察時、個人孤獨感浮現時、或反思物質與人性價值的時刻。
魔鏡站長解析
魔鏡站長
站長聽這首歌總會想起深夜獨自走在巷弄時，那些被城市遺落的背影。許冠傑用溫潤的聲線勾勒出倫敦街頭的貧困與孤寂，詞裡老者破舊的鞋底、鬆垮的手、還有提著兩袋家當的婦人，都像被歲月磨損的舊膠片。歌詞裡反覆出現的「你說你孤單」與「讓我帶你走過」形成強烈對比，彷彿在提醒聽眾：有時我們自以為的苦難，在別人眼中不過是日常。特別適合在雨夜或情緒低潮時聽，那些細節裡藏著對生命的悲憫，卻不沉溺於哀傷，反而讓人覺醒於當下擁有的溫暖。
歌曲冷知識
・歌詞反覆質問聽者是否見過街頭的孤獨者，以對比強化社會現實的殘酷。
・「carrying her home in two carrier bags」細節暗示貧困與生存壓力，具體而深刻。
・重複段落結構如「Have you seen...」形成詩歌節奏，增強敘事感染力。
・提及「seaman's mission」與「minor ribands」，隱喻被遺忘的勞動者與歷史記憶。
