On my street there is a man who stands
Alone with open hands
And it brings me down
He say he'll kick the stuff one day
Social took him away
But he's back around
I don't want to live 'round here
Say no more, I'm sure
You probably thought it before
Oh, but I don't want to live 'round here
Say no more, I'm sure
Living in the city where you know the score
And we all would like a life without no fuss, no fight
Counting pennies in your twenties on a Saturday night
But don't you worry 'bout the money, it'll be alright, oh yeah
'Cause even if we gotta struggle just to make ends meet
When we're standing in the shadows of the cold concrete
We can always pop a collar up and shuffle our feet
To the sunny side of the street
In my school there was a girl who'd say
I'll be a star one day
And it made me smile
Last night they had to break a door
And found her on the floor
She'd been there a while
I don't want to live 'round here
Say no more, I'm sure
You probably thought it before
Oh, but I don't want to live 'round here
Say no more, I'm sure
Living in the city where you know the score
And we all would like a life without no fuss, no fight
Counting pennies in your twenties on a Saturday night
But don't you worry 'bout the money, it'll be alright, oh yeah
'Cause even if we gotta struggle just to make ends meet
When we're standing in the shadows of the cold concrete
We can always pop a collar up and shuffle our feet
To the sunny side of the street
Yeah, we all would like a life without the stress and debts
Without the piss-ups and the buses and the launderettes
But the grass is always greener on the next man's lawn
If we had a million quid, we'd only piss it up the wall, so
Forget the having all the best of what they make
And make the best of what you do have
And leave the rest to fate
If you're Bonnie, you can call me Clyde
We can stride to the sunny side, yeah
And we all would like a life without no fuss, no fight
Counting pennies in your twenties on a Saturday night
But don't you worry 'bout the money, it'll be alright, oh yeah
'Cause even if we gotta struggle just to make ends meet
When we're standing in the shadows of the cold concrete
We can always pop a collar up and shuffle our feet
To the sunny side of the street
And we say
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh, oh yeah
Always pop a collar to the sunny side of the street
Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh, oh yeah
