Discover the story of the song > Hope Street – Levellers

The song describes a depressing and run-down street called Hope Street. The protagonist observes a young boy in the pub, an old lady going through the bins, and a man who lost money on a horse race. They wish for rain to clean the dirt and for the sun to show its face on Hope Street. The protagonist also criticizes someone in power who doesn't seem to care about helping the struggling kids on the street.
