THE STREETS LYRICS - Weak Becomes Heroes

"Weak Becomes Heroes"



Turn left up the street

Nothing but grey concrete and dead beats

Grab something to eat

Maccy D's or KFC

Only one choice in the city

Done voicing my pity now lets get to the nitty gritty

Tune reminds me of my first e

polite, unique, still sixteen and feeling horny

Point to the sky feel free

A sea of people all equal smiles in front and behind me

Swim in the deep blue sea cornfields sway lazily

All smiles all easy where you from, what you on and what's your story

Mesmerizing tones rising pianos this is my zone so stop cloning

Pick paper scissors or stone

Cause me and you are same i known you all my life i don't know your name

The names European Bob sorted anyway

Gonna have dance now see you later please to meet you

Likewise a pleasure



[Chorus (x2):]

We were just standing there minding our own

And it went on and on

We all smile we all sing

The weak become heroes then the stars align

We all sing we all sing all sing



The night slowly fades and goes slow motion

All the commotion becomes floating emotions

Same piano loops over

Arms wave eyes roll back and jaws fall open

I see in soft focus

Chattin to this bloke in the toilets

Dizzy new heights blinded by the lights

These people are for life its all back to his place at the end of the night

They could settle wars with this

If only they will imagine the worlds leaders on pills then imagine the morning after

Wars causing disaster don't talk to me i don't know ya

But this ain't tomorrow and for now i still love ya

Hours fly over sail round diamonds and pearls never seen so many fit girls

Discover new worlds look at my watch can't focus

Last two hours i lost every move fills me with lust

All of life's problems i just shake off

Mad little events happen things map out and a few blue maddens alight the toilets

Big beefy bouncers out to reveal us geezers on e's and first timers kids on whizz darlins on

Charlie

All come together for this party

All races many faces from places you never heard of

Where you from what's your name and what you want

Sing to the words flex to the fat one

The tribal drums the sun's rising we all smile we all sing



[Chorus x2]



Then the girl in the cafA© taps me on the shoulder

I realize five years went by I'm older

Memories smoulder winters colder

But that same piano loops over and over and over

The road shines and the rain washes away

The same Chinese takeaway selling shit in a tray

It's dark all round I walk down same sight same sounds new beats though

Solid concrete under my feet

No surprises no treats the world stands still as my mind sloshes round

The washing up bowl in my crown

My life's been up and down since i walked from that crowd



[Chorus x2]



Out of respect for Johnny Walker,

Paul Okenfold, Nicky Hollaway, Danny Rampling,

And all the people who gave us these times,

And to the government I stick my middle finger up

With regards to the criminal justice bill,

For all the heroes I met along the way



[x2]

The weak become heroes and the stars align

We all sing, we all sing, sing,



[Chorus x2]
