These Streets
Album - 17 luglio 2006 - Debaser id 346672

You said you'd marry me if I was 23
But I'm one that you can't see if I'm only 18
Tell me who made these rules
Obviously not you
Who are you answering to?

Oh, Jenny don't be hasty
No, don't treat me like a baby
Let me take you where you'll let me
Because leaving just upsets me

And I'll be around again
To see these other men
Who are more adequate
In the age department
If I did not think you cared
There'd be no problems here
But now you're looking at me like you're disgusted
And I'm definitely waiting for you to smile and change your mind
Then I'll say I'm sorry and I'll wrap my arms 'round your body
And I really hope that you forgive in a hurry
And don't just ask me to leave

Oh, Jenny don't be hasty
Don't treat me like a baby
Let me take you where you'll let me
Because leaving just upsets me

Oh, Jenny you are crazy!
First I'm perfect, then I'm lazy
And I was calling you my baby
Now it sounds like you've just left me
And it kills me!

Slow down, lie down, remember it's just you and me
Don't sell out, bow out, remember how this used to be
I just want you closer is that alright, baby let's get closer tonight

Grant my last request and just let me hold you
Don't shrug your shoulders, lay down beside me
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere
But one last time let's go there, lay down beside me

Now I've found, that I'm bound, to wander down that one-way road
And I realise all about your lies, but I'm no wiser than the fool that I was before
I just want you closer is that alright, baby let's get closer tonight

Grant my last request and just let me hold you
Don't shrug your shoulders, lay down beside me
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere
But one last time let's go there, lay down beside me

Baby, baby, baby, tell me how can, how can this be wrong?
Grant my last request and just let me hold you
Don't shrug your shoulders, lay down beside me
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere
But one last time let's go there, lay down beside me
One last time let's go there, lay down beside me

Pickin up the pieces
Of the wreck you went and left
And I'm dealing with dilemmas
In my not-so-stressful life
And I'm drinking stronger spirits
I made my home here on the floor
And I'm losing all ambition and goals

And I'm going all out
And I'm thinking you're just as bad

No sleeping at night
But I'm going from bar to bar
Why can't we just rewind
Why can't we just rewind
Why can't we just rewind

Oh remember at 16
Oh the crazy drunken night we had
When I kissed you in the hallway
Then I took you straight to bed

Well two years on
And I'm still that same boy

And I'm not sleeping at night
But I'm going from bar to bar
Why can't we just rewind
Why can't we just rewind
Why can't we just rewind oh

No sleeping at night
But I'm going from bar to bar
Why can't we just rewind
Why can't we just rewind
Why can't we just rewind oh

You might blame it on me
But you persisted that we fall
Wiped your hands of me
And said you needed more, more, more

And I'm not sleeping at night
But I'm going from bar to bar
Why can't we just rewind
Why can't we just rewind
Why can't we just rewind oh

And I'm not sleeping at night
But I'm going from bar to bar
Why can't we just rewind
Why can't we just rewind
Why can't we just rewind oh

Wo woah woah woah
Wo woah woah woah
Wo wo woah
Can't we just rewind

Oh the phone you know it never stops, it's the last thing I hear at night
And the first thing in the morning
And as I let it start to burn my head, you slowly creep into bed
And I'm done with all the talking
You say you know how I'm feeling, I just need to try to settle down

Oh a million faces pass my way
Oh they're all the same, nothing seem to change anytime I look around
Oh who knows just what the future holds
All I want to know is if it's with you

Tired as hell and falling up the stairs
Filled with a thousand cares as you walk out from the bedroom
And though it feels like all my fire has gone
girl, you just turn me on
Can't believe how much I want you
You say you know how I'm feeling, I just need to try to settle down

Though a million faces pass my way
Oh they're all the same, nothing seems to change anytime I look around
Oh who knows just what the future holds
All I want to know is if it's with you

We're distracted by the hard times, and the troubles that we make
Let us throw them in the ocean, let it wash our cares away
Oh the phone you know it never stops, it's the last thing I hear at night
And the first thing in the morning

Oh a million faces pass my way
Oh they're all the same, nothing seem to change anytime I look around
Oh who knows just what the future holds
All I want to know is if it's with you

We're distracted by the hard times, and the troubles that we make
Let us throw them in the ocean, let it wash our cares away
Oh the phone you know it never stops, it's the last thing I hear at night
And the first thing in the morning

Let it wash our cares away, let it wash our cares away...

Cross the border into the big bad World
Where it takes you 'bout an hour just to cross the road,
Just to stumble across another poor old soul from
The dreary old lanes to the high-street madness.
I fight with my brain to believe my eyes,
And it's harder than you think
To believe this sadness that creeps up my spine
And haunts me through the night.

And life is good and the girls are gorgeous
Suddenly the air smells much greener now.
And I'm wandering around with a half pack of cigarettes,
Searching for the change that I've lost somehow

These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Ochy
I'll get used to this eventually
I know, I know

Where'd the days go? When all we did was play
And the stress that we were under wasn't stress at all
Just a run and a jump into a harmless fall from
Walking by a high-rise to a landmark square.
You see millions of people with millions of cares
And I struggle to the train to make my way home
I look at the people as they sit there alone

Life is good, and the sun is shining
Everybody flirts to their ideal place
And the children all smile as a boat shuffled by them
Trying to pretend that they've got some space

These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Ochy
I'll get used to this eventually
I know, I know

These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Ochy
I'll get used to this eventually
I know, I know

Life is good and the girls are gorgeous
Suddenly the air smells much greener now
And I'm wondering around with a half pack of cigarettes
Searching for the change that I've lost somehow

These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Ochy
I'll get used to this eventually
I know, I know

These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in our Ochy
I'll get used to this eventually
I know, I know

Woke up cold one Tuesday,
I'm looking tired and feeling quite sick.
I felt like there was something missing in my day-to-day life,
So, I quickly opened the wardrobe,
Pulled out some jeans and a t-shirt that seemed clean.
Topped it off with a pair of old shoes,
That were ripped around the seams.
And, I thought, These shoes just don't suit me.

Hey, I put some new shoes on,
And suddenly everything is right.
I said, Hey, I put some new shoes on, and everybody's smiling,
It's so inviting.
Oh, short on money,
But, long on time,
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine,
And I'm running late,
And I don't need an excuse,
'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes.

Woke up late one Thursday,
And, I'm seeing stars as I'm rubbing my eyes.
And, I felt like there were two days missing,
As I focused on the time.
And I made my way to the kitchen,
But, I had to stop from the shock of what I found,
A room full of all of my friends all dancing 'round and 'round,
And, I thought, Hello, New Shoes,
Bye-bye blues.

Hey, I put some new shoes on,
And suddenly everything is right.
I said, Hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling,
It's so inviting.
Oh, short on money,
But long on time,
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine,
And I'm running late,
And I don't need an excuse,
'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes.

Take me wanderin' through these streets,
Where bright lights and angels meet.
Stone to stone they take me on,
I'm walking 'til the break of dawn.

There's a heart on the line, and it rests with your eyes
Please don't fade and please don't cry, 'cause it's all white lies
Take a chance watch it fall, grab too much and lose it all
Now I've lost my disguise, it was all white lies

Stay here, lie here with me, oh lo-fi, lonely sighs
I will roam lost but never alone, hide with me, hide

Would it help if I tried, or has it sailed and passed me by
First love grows then it does, and its all white lies

Stay here, lie here with me, oh lo-fi, lonely sighs
I will roam lost but never alone, hide with me, hide with me

Now you move with the tide and I've heard you've found peace of mind
And I know that life's design moves around white lies, white lies, white lies, white lies

Ohh ohhh woww yeaa
Back off loneliness and hello tenderness
I've been waiting for your call for so long
And it musta been hard just to follow your soul
To stick to the road that your heart wants you to go
And as you slide through the door
With your morals on your sleeve
And I think it's time for all those morals to leave
So let's get down and freaky baby, let's get restless baby
C'mon get crazy with me

And I said
When you're loving me, I'm loving you
And I love the prowess in the things that you do
And its your flawless soul that bleeds my stone
And when you're loving me I'm loving you and that's when we've got it goin' on

Oooooo so many people think we've got it wrong
They all try to break us but we wont play along
So let's get down and dirty baby, let's get restless baby
C'mon get crazy with me

And I said
When you're loving me, I'm loving you
And I love the prowess in the things that you do
And its your flawless soul that bleeds my stone
And when you're loving me I'm loving you and that's when we've got it goin' on
Oh goin on and I was so distracted I was lost and abandoned
And I needed another home and you flew in my arms you just flew right into my arms

And when you're loving me, I'm loving you
And I love the prowess in the things that you do
And it's your flawless soul that bleeds my stone
And when you're loving me I'm loving you and that's when we've got it goin' on

When you're loving me, I'm loving you
And I love the prowess in the things that you do
And it's your flawless soul that bleeds my stone
And when you're loving me I'm loving you and that's when we've got it goin' on
On and on
And it's your flawless soul that bleeds my stone
And when you're loving me I'm loving you and that's when we've got it goin' on

Autumn leaves under frozen souls,
Hungry hands turning soft and old,
My hero crying as we stood out there in the cold,
Like these autumn leaves I don't have nothing to hold.

Handsome smiles wearing handsome shoes,
Too young to say, though I swear he knew,
And I hear him singing while he sits there in his chair,
While these autumn leaves float around everywhere.

And I look at you, and I see me,
Making noise so restlessly,
But now it's quiet and I can hear you sing,
'My little fish dont cry, my little fish dont cry.'

Autumn leaves how fading now,
That smile that I've lost, well I've found some how,
Because you still live on in my father's eyes,
These autumn leaves, all these autumn leaves, all these autumn leaves are yours tonight.
