What's Happened to Soho? - The Correspondents

Oh no, what’s happened to Soho?

Oh no, where will all the reprobates go?

Oh no, what’s happened to Soho?

Oh no, where will all the reprobates go?

The landlord say your lease is up,

the council says you are corrupt,

either way you got to go,

to make way for a new Tesco

They sanitize and clean,

Unpick it at the seam

unravel and destroy,

decades of what has been,

wave good-bye to the whole damn scene

bye bye bye, my gin-soaked dream

Oh no, what’s happened to Soho?

Oh no, where will all the reprobates go?

Oh no, what’s happened to Soho?

Oh no, where will all the reprobates go?

People gathered 'round to watch as their small empire sinks,

Now empty rooms resound with the memories of a million drinks,

Then the brightest stars in the blackest night burn themselves out,

So the subjects all take flight,

It’s over there can be no doubt

I know a few frequenters sit on the shelf

Regaling first-time histories they did not even live

In every group there’s those that have nothing left to give

Oh no, what’s happened to Soho?

Oh no, where will all the reprobates go?

Oh no, what’s happened to Soho?

Oh no, where will all the reprobates go?

Where do I go for a family

Of outspoken praise and dandies and queens

Bearded witty, bitter men

And acutely self-aware has-beens

Sharp blonde women that will throw your responses back in your face

Even the coy girls will put you back in your place

The wisest words will arise from an old rogue’s wry smile

This is a place where no one cares about what you do

No one will ask, just carry the conversation through

Where do I go?

Where do I go?

Where do I go?

Oh no, what’s happened to Soho?

Oh no, where will all the reprobates go?

Oh no, what’s happened to Soho?

Oh no, where will all the reprobates go?

Oh no, what’s happened to Soho?

Oh no, where will all the reprobates go?

Where do I go (go)

Where do I go (go)

Where do I go (go)

Where do I go?

Where do I go?

Where do I go?

Where do I go?

Where do I go?

Where do I go?
