This version is also great.When I hear this song I see myself walking though the raining streets of London, toally lost and forgotten. Teh street where only rats can run..., its the mirror of the song he sings. Pearly Spencer must have been totally lost in this moment,alone, lonely...
The song reflects the inner situation of Pearly precisely! The race is almost run...,
its over, nothing more to loose...!

Personally I prefer the sixties original although this updated version is not 'bad' necessarily. Regrettable that the EMI Music overlords have blocked it on youtube in the US. But that's the American corporate mentality, huh?

It always was a great song..............i remember playing in a band with davie and during rehearsals when we had a break for a smoke he would sit and write down parts of songs and i remember this one because i asked him who is was about. I have had a few heated discussions since then but he told me what inspired him to write this one and it might surprise some people............but a great song James G Brown

@54326541 I very well know this song was released in 1967. But this BBC recording was made in the 80ties. As I'm old enough myself (60 years of age!!) I'm not going to ask my father.
