Knight's In White Satin
~ Moody Blues
(Spoken)
Breath deep
the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade
from every room
Bedsitter people
look back and lament
Another day's useless
energy spent
Impassioned lovers
wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love
and has none
New mother picks up
and suckles her son
Senior citizens
wish they were young
Cold-hearted orb
that rules the night
Removes the colours
from our sight
Red is gray and
yellow white
But we decide
which is right
and which is an illusion.
What is the meaning of by "bedsitter people"?
ReplyDeleteAccording to Wikipedia: A bedsit, also known as a bed-sitting room, is a form of rented accommodation common in Great Britain and Ireland consisting of a single room and shared bathroom; they are part of a legal category of dwellings referred to as Houses in multiple occupation.
ReplyDeleteBedsits arose from the subdivision of larger dwellings into small low-cost accommodations at low conversion cost. In the UK a growing desire for personal independence after World War II led to a reduced demand for traditional boarding houses with communal dining.
