Nicoll Road.

among the ranks of business men.
The crowd is pushing into the night,
past the old girl to their right
from Nicoll Road.
Nicoll Road.
Nobody will help her there.
Why should they stop? Why should they care?
The crowd is pushing into the street,
past the old girl at their feet
from Nicoll Road.
Nicoll Road.
From Nicoll Road.
Nicoll Road.
From Nicoll Road.
