Song with no name

"Song with no name*" is a song by LorD and Master about a homeless woman who sings to herself while sleeping rough on the streets. The title of the song, which was the springboard for the whole idea, came when Dan was looking on Facebook for inspiration for a project title, having already written some of the music. Needing a nice title for projects is always a problem, because there's only so many times you can call it "Something new 52a" or similar. Scrolling on the site, he found a post by cabaret artist, Drag With No Name and so, "Song with no name" was born.

Lyrics

La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da

She wanders alone at night
And she’s alone by day
She looks for a quiet spot
Or she sleeps in the doorway

Can you spare any change
So she can buy food
You walk straight by with your earphones in
So as not to seem rude

She’s selling herself on the streets
But you don’t want to play her game
She mutters to herself
Singing her song with no name

La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da

The lines all over her face
Are a map of where she’s been
There’s a shadow in her eyes
That tells you what she’s seen

Can you spare any change
So she can buy food
You walk straight by with your earphones in
So as not to seem rude

She’s selling herself on the streets
But you don’t want to play her game
She mutters to herself
Singing her song with no name

La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da

La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da

She’s selling herself on the streets
But you don’t want to play her game
She mutters to herself
Singing her song with no name

La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da

La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
La de da de da
