Paolo Nutini - These Streers Lyrics
[Verse 1]Cross the border, into the big bad worldWhere it takes you 'bout an hour just to cross the roadJust to stumble across another poor old soulFrom the dreary old lanes to the high-street madnessI fight with my brain to believe my eyesAnd it's harder than you think to believe this sadnessThat creeps up my spine and haunts me through the night[Bridge]Life is good and the girls are gorgeousSuddenly the air smells much greener nowAnd I'm wondering around with a half pack of cigarettesSearching for the change that I've lost somehow[Chorus]These streets have too many names for meI'm used to Glen Field roadAnd spending my time down in OrchyI'll get used to this eventually I know, I know[Verse 2]Where'd the days go? When all we did was playAnd the stress that we were under wasn't stress at allJust a run and a jump into a harmless fallFrom walking by a high-rise to a landmark squareYou see millions of people with millions of caresAnd I struggle to the train to make my way homeI look at the people as they sit there alone[Bridge]Life is good and the sun is shiningEverybody flirts to their ideal placeAnd the children all smile as a boat shuffled by themTrying to pretend that they've got some space[Chorus x2]These streets have too many names for meI'm used to Glen Field roadAnd spending my time down in OrchyI'll get used to this eventually I know, I know[Bridge]Life is good and the sun is shiningEverybody flirts to their ideal placeAnd the children all smile as a boat shuffled by themTrying to pretend that they've got some space[Chorus x2]These streets have too many names for meI'm used to Glen Field roadAnd spending my time down in OrchyI'll get used to this eventually I know, I know[Outro]Cause you keep telling me so
