I know both of you read my Stones book, and I did answer what a gomper is in there
Indeed you did! I read your book as soon as it arrived in my mailbox (well, I got it out of the package first, LOL) but that was a few years ago. Maybe it's time to have a look at it again.
Bill talked in an interview once about his getting his weed in the '60s from a friend who lived off a street near Leicester Square, and I understand Lyle Street is nearby
My trusty little London AZ guide doesn't list a "Lyle Street". There is a "Lyle Clo" (whatever that abreviation stands for), but it's nowhere near Leicester Square. I have no idea whether there are prostitutes in the area nowadays, much less in the days when the song was written, but I believe that Leicester Square is in the theatre district.
Maybe there was a Lyle Street in the days when Bill wrote the song. Street names can be changed for a variety of reasons.
