Stanyan Street Songtext
von Nick Waterhouse

Well, I am just a young man
Wandering through a young life (mm-mm)
Here comes another night
Ridin′ in the turntable light (mm-mm)

Third-floor window; Stanyan street
On the corner, well, I can see (mm-mm)

She wore a green coat
Trimmed in fur
I'd stay up all night just to see her
Not knowing what it′d be
On Stanyan Street

Living young, or getting so old
Everyone, everyone
Leavin' me so cold

Playing TB Sheets on heavy repeat
And the medicine keeps me void (mm-mm)
Running' home in the rain half out of my mind
With my friend Georgie boy (mm-mm)


Third-floor window
I could see
Down on the corner of Stanyan Street (mm-mm)

She wears a big coat trimmed in fur
I′d stay up all night just to see her
Knowing what it′d be
On Stanyan street
Stanyan street

Living young
I'm getting so old
Everyone, everyone just leaving me so cold

Well, I took the last train home
You sat across, turning me on
I couldn′t believe with all those nights I love

When you look down
From the corner of the world
There's a way you might lose yourself
I don′t know, baby
That's the way you′re walking tonight

Down on Stanyan Street
Down on Stanyan Street


I don't know if I can be
On the Stayan street
