When the lights go down in the city
And the sun shines on the bay
Do I wanna be there in my city?

Oh, oo, oh
Ohh, oo, ohh
Oh, oo, oh

 

[bluebro69]

'Cause you belong to the city
You belong to the night
Living in a river of darkness beneath the neon light
You were born in the city
Concrete under your feet
It's in your moves, it's in your blood
You're a man of the street.

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

Streetlife serenader, never sang on stages
Needs no orchestration, melody comes easy

 

[downbound123]

temperatures rise

Well, my temperature's rising, and my feet on the floor
Crazy people knocking 'cause they're wanting some more
Let me in, baby, I don't know what you got
But you better take it easy, this place is hot

And I'm so glad we made it
So glad we made it
You got gimme some-a lovin' (Gimme gimme some lovin')
Gimme some-a lovin' (Gimme gimme some lovin')
Gimme some-a lovin' every day

 

[downbound123]

You're a man of the street.

Ev'rywhere I hear the sound
Of marching charging feet, boy
'Cause summer's here and the time is right
For fighting in the street, boy

Well now, what can a poor boy do
Except to sing for a rock n' roll band?
'Cause in sleepy London town
There's just no place for a street fighting man, no

 

[fromtheshwa]

I am just a new boy
Stranger in this town
Where are all the good times?
Who's gonna show this stranger around?
Ooh, I need a dirty woman
Ooh, I need a dirty girl

 

[fromtheshwa]

People are strange
When you're a stranger
Faces look ugly
When you're alone

Women seem wicked
When you're unwanted
Streets are uneven
When you're down

 

[bluebro69]

Strange, how you stopped loving me
How you stopped needing me
When she came along
Oh, how strange

Strange, you changed like night and day
Just up and walked away
When she came along
Oh, how strange

 

[Meesh]

She's a witch of trouble in electric blue,
In her own mad mind she's in love with you.
With you.
Now what you gonna do?
Strange brew
Kill what's inside of you.

 

[fromtheshwa]

When I look out my window
Many sights to see
And when I look in my window
So many different people to be
They're strange, so strange
It's very strange to me

You've got to pick up every stitch (gonna be)
You've got to pick up every stitch (gonna be, gonna be)
You've got to pick up every stitch
Oh no, must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch

 

[unassuming]

There's a giant doin' cartwheels, a statue wearin' high heels
Look at all the happy creatures dancin' on the lawn
Dinosaur Victrola, listenin' to Buck Owens
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door

 

[fromtheshwa]

De do do do de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true

 

[downbound123]

What you gonna do

Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?

And:

Bad boys, bad boys whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
Bad boys, bad boys whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

 

[unassuming]

Bad boys, bad boys whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
Bad boys, bad boys whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in this town
See me and the boys we don't like it
So were getting up and going down

 

[fromtheshwa]

He said, I ain't spending my life here.
I ain't livin' alone
Ain't breaking no rocks on the chain gang
I'm breakin' out and headin' home

Gonna make a jailbreak
But I'm lookin' towards the sky
Gonna make a jailbreak
Man, I wish that I could fly

 

[unassuming]

I work hard (he works hard) every day of my life
I work 'til I ache my bones
At the end (at the end of the day)
I take home my hard earned pay (goes home)
All on my own (goes home on his own)
I get down (down) on my knees (knees)
And I start to pray (praise the Lord)
'Til the tears run down from my eyes
Lord, somebody (somebody), ooh, somebody
(Please) can anybody find me somebody to love?

 

[fromtheshwa]

Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died

 

[unassuming]

So many days you passed me by
You saw the tears standin' in my eye
You wouldn't stop to make me feel better
By leavin' me a card or a letter

 

[fromtheshwa]

Don't shed a tear for me
My life won't end without you
(Without you)
Long as the night will be
The sun will rise without you

 

[unassuming]

Now the sun's gone to hell and
The moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line in your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
