Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Rainstorm, brainstorm,
faces in the maelstrom
[G]Huddle by the puddles in the
[C#dim]shadows where the drains run
[Em]Hot dogs,
wet clogs clicking up the sidewalk
[G]Disappea[Em]ring in [C#dim]to
the booze shop
[C]Rainbow queues stand down by the newsstand,
[Am]waiting for the [Adim]late show
[Em]Pin ball, sin hall, minds in free fall
[G]Chocolate- colored ladies making
[C#dim]eyes through the smok[A]e- pall

[Verse 2]
[G]Soh[D]o, needless to [Em]say
[D](needless to say)
[C]I'm alone on [D]your streets on a
[C]Friday [Bm]evening
[G]I've been [D]here all of [Em]the day[D]
Going [C]nowhere with [D]nowhere
to [E]go
[Em]

[Verse 3]
[Em]Football supporters taking the waters
They're [G]looking [Em]around for the
[C#dim]twilight [Em]daughters
Non- stop strip club
pornographic bookshop
[G]Come into the back and take your
[C#dim]time and have a good[C] look
Old man laughs with [Am]flowers in
his [Adim]hair
[Em]Newspaper headline "Middle
East [Gaug]Dead line"
[G]Jazz musicians [A]are down
[G]on the breadline
Soho, [D]needless to say

[Verse 4]
[Em]
[D](needless to say)
[C]I'm alone on your [D]streets
on a [C]Friday [Bm]evening
[D]I've [G]been [D]here all of [Em]the day[D]
Going [C]nowhere with [D]nowhere to [E]go

[Verse 5]
So[Am]ho feeds the needs and hides the d[Adim]eed s,
the mind that bleeds
Disen[Em]chanted,
[D]downstr[C]eam in the[Em] night
[Am]Soho hears the lies, twisted [Adim]cries,
lonely sighs
[D]'Til she [G]seems[D][Em]
[D]lost in [Am]dreams[A]

[Verse 6]
[Em]Sun goes down on a
[Gaug]neon eon
Though you'd [G]have a job explaining
it to [Em]Richard Coeur de Lion
Animation, bar conversation,
an[G]ticipation, [C#dim]disinform[C]ation
Old man laughs with [Am]flowers
in his [Adim]hair
[Em]Begs for the dregs from the bottom of the kegs,
man
You've [G]never seen a lady lay down
[Em]and spread her legs like

[Verse 7]
[G]Soh[D]o, needless to [Em]say
[D](needless to say)
[C]I'm alone on your [D]sheets,
[C]or am I dreaming[Bm]?
[D]And [G]I've been [D]here all of [Em]the day[D]
Going [C]nowhere with [D]nowhere to [E]go[F#m]
[G]Soh[D]o, needless to [Em]say
[D](needless to say)
I'm [C]alone on your [D]streets,
[C]or am I d[Bm]reaming?
[G]I've been [D]here all of [Em]the day[D]
Going [C]nowhere with [D]nowhere to go
