走在倫敦的街道上，其實挺舒服的。
尤其在學校周圍，因為是文教辦公區，
所以雖然在市中心，卻也沒有那麼的吵雜。
有的頂多是衣著光鮮的上班族跟學生。

走在路上，看到一些帶著睡袋露宿街頭的流浪漢，
腦海裡總是會回想起一首很久很久前由 Phil Collins 所唱的歌「Take me home」。
剛來到英國時，會訝異於這個大城市裡面，出現流浪漢的比例竟然如此的高，
一兩年下來，雖然不至於視而不見，
卻也漸漸的習慣用比較平靜的眼光去觀察他們。

說他們是流浪漢，而不是無業遊民，
其實有很大一個比例是因為這邊有一份叫做「Big Issue」的雜誌，
很多的流浪漢雖然流落街頭，
但是或多或少，還是會試著透過在街上販賣這本雜誌的方式去掙點零錢，
似乎這樣子一點點微薄的收入，
也能讓他們覺得有點自尊。

這樣的生活，他們也許在夜深時候，
也會想起這首歌裡面所寫的內容吧.....

Take me home / Phil Collins

Take that look of worry
I'm an ordinary man
They don't tell me nothing
So I find out what I can
There's a fire that's been burning
Right outside my door
I can't see but I feel it
And it helps to keep me warm
So I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind

Seems so long I've been waiting
Still don't know what for
There's no point escaping
I don't worry anymore
I can't come out to find you
I don't like to go outside
They can't turn off my feelings
Like they're turning off a light
But I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind
Oh I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind

So take, take me home
Cos I don't remember
Take, take me home
Cos I don't remember
Take, take me home
Cos I don't remember
Take, take me home, oh lord
Cos I've been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you

Take that look of worry, mine's an ordinary life
Working when it's daylight
And sleeping when it's night
I've got no far horizons
I don't wish upon a star
They don't think that I listen
Oh but I know who they are
And I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind
Oh I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind

So take, take me home
Cos I don't remember
Take, take me home
Cos I don't remember
Take, take me home
Cos I don't remember
Take, take me home, oh lord
Well I've been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you

But I don't remember
Take, take me home...
