A Hundred Streets Songtext
von David Ford

A hundred streets and I will walk them all
Raising wire on concrete walls, oh yeah
Welcome to the neighborhood
Another siren cuts the night in two
Another killer from another crew, oh yeah
There′s something going on
(Uuuuu Uuuuu)
I put my heart into this English town
Still one hand giveth and the other strikes you down
Just like it ever was
But all the money, wounds, and broken glass
Will turn the dust and every feeling too will pass
Turns something else
(Uuuuu Ohhhh)
I see the teeth in every strangers smile
I'll even die in this familiar square mile
Than by the riverside We′ll build the future just to tear it down
Beside the banks of the only sting in town
She keeps on running
(To hold me down)
And this is not a time for turning back
A hundred streets and I stepped on every crack
The tile was built in time
I write the script and I'll play my part
Until forever comes to steal it's beating heart
(And hold me down)
It′s all connected by invisible ties
Dig out the truth within a million snow white lies
To keep you honest
And the world is beautiful when life is sweet
If I could leave a mark upon these hundred streets
Let it be this
