This is the Acoustic Demo version of the song from the "Muswell Hillbillies" sessions in 1971 which did not make it onto the final cut of the album, but is available as a side. From the bright busy streets of the Charing Cross Road To the dark little alleys in old Soho From the smart noisy clubs where everyone goes To the dark little streets that nobody knows Nobody notices, nobody misses me Nobody knows if I really exist I'm a-nobody's shelter, I'm a-nobody's cover I'm a-nobody's lover and nobody's friend So used to lying, and pretending I'm nobody's fool and I'm nobody's friend I can go for a walk on a crowded street and see millions of faces staring at me Some of them smiling, some of them blind But most of them don't even know that I'm there That's how I want to be 'cause no one belongs to me I'm nobody's fool and I'm nobody's friend Nobody grieves for me and nobody bleeds for me I'm nobody's fool and I'm nobody's friend So used to lying, and pretending I'm nobody's fool and I'm nobody's friend
