Over London by rail: 1872 by Gustave Doré at Museum of London

Over London by rail. Engraving. View of the London slums by Gustave Dore from 'Londre a Pilgrimage', first published in 1872. This illustration is a bird's eye view of the slums of London, it shows the poor and overcrowed conditions in which the poor lived in Victorian times, where "There is a desperate, ferocious levity in the air... they (the poor) are the workless of a work-a day London - born in idleness to die in the workhouse, or upon bare boards."

本日の挿入歌 Goodbye Yellowbrick Road by Elton John 

When are you gonna come down  
When are you going to land  
I should have stayed on the farm   
I should have listened to my old man  

You know, you can't hold me forever 
I didn't sign up with you    
I'm not a present for your friends to open   
This boy's too young to be singing - the blues 

(Chorus)
So goodbye yellow brick road 

だから(都会の)黄色い煉瓦(れんが)通りとはサヨナラさ
Where the dogs of society howl   

こんな社交界の犬たち(奴らが)が吠える(のさばっている)

ところとは
You can't plant me in your penthouse  

俺を豪華高層マンションの飾り物にはできないさ
I'm going back to my plough   

俺は自分の耕作地(故郷=そんなものあるのか?)に戻るんだ

Back to the howling old owl in the woods 

なつかしいフクロウが鳴くあの森に戻って
Hunting the horny back toad    

背中にトゲがあるイボ蛙を見つけるのさ!
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies   

俺はやっとことさ決心が付いたぜ おれの未来は
Beyond the yellow brick road
この黄色い煉瓦通りのはるか向こうに広がっているんだ、と


What do you think you'll do then  
I bet that'll shoot down your plane  
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again  

Maybe you'll get a replacement  
There's plenty like me to be found  
Mongrels who ain't got a penny   
Sniffing for tidbits like you - on the ground  

(Chorus)
So goodbye yellow brick road  
Where the dogs of society howl  
You can't plant me in your penthouse  
I'm going back to my plough   

Back to the howling old owl in the woods 
Hunting the horny back toad   
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies   
Beyond the yellow brick road
