Simple Minds - Street Fighting Years Lyrics
Chased you out of this world, didnt mean to stopI turned around and suddenly you where goneLike some bird from paradise, the fire and iceWe turned around and suddenly you where gone, gone, goneAnd now summer burns a hole inside and years are golden once againMy thoughts return to you my dear young friendOh come this wayWill you look down this wayI go down on the streetWhere the wild winds blowingHere comes a hurricaneI say come down this wayWill you look down this wayI need you tonightI need you around meIm looking through the windowsAnd my mind goes in a whirlWell theres a multitude of candlesBurning in the windows of this worldIm looking at the coloursChecking out the straightsIm counting out the numbersWill tomorrow never change?Still I hear you and I love youAnd Ill follow you elsewhereAnd Ill remember this occasionIll remember being awarecause weve got panic in the eveningWeve got fall-out in the streetsAnd I hear you and I follow youAnd Ill call out and Ill sayThat I can hear your sister call outAnd I hear her call your nameTheyre calling sweet surrenderAnd things wont be the sameAnd dont you think that I dont careAnd dont you think that I dont knowAnd dont you hear them calling outIn a place not far from hereAnd I hear big wheels are turningSome things are not to fearThey say this is the time and placeThey call street fighting yearsAnd I hear great wheels are turningAnd I tell you not to fearThey say this is the time and placeThey call street fighting yearsAnd I love you, I look for youAnd I walk to you, I walk to youAnd I hear big wheels are turningIs there no way out of here?Theyll be calling out tomorrow.Words and music : simple minds reproduced without permission
