Blinded by the Lights (Recorded at Brixton Academy, London) Songtext
von The Streets

That′s the one, oí
How did he not find the baggy, with his hand in my shoe?
Way too close for me, oh well at least they allowed me through
Should be a good night in here, Rammo in the main room
People keep pushing me though, no reception on the phone

And I'm thinking
Lights are blinding my eyes
They said they′d be here they said, they said in the corner
And I'm thinking
People pushing by, they're walking off into the night

These look well speckly, a bit green and blue
Three′s is well cheap though, so I′ll take three if I need to
Right, I'm on the plan, I wish the bouncers would go away
Borrow water off this man, here goes nothing okay

And I′m thinking
Lights are blinding my eyes
Ah, that's proper rank, that tastes like hairspray
And I′m thinking
People pushing by, they're walking off into the night


I hate coming to the entrance, just to get bars on my phone
You have no new messages, so why haven′t they phoned?
Menu, write message: "So where are you and Simone?"
Send message, Dan's number, "Where've they gone?"

And I′m thinking
Lights are blinding my eyes
Why′s the message pending? Where the fuck are ya?
And I'm thinking
People pushing by, they′re walking off into the night

Hmm, brandy or beer? Water's a good idea
Wish that bar lady′d appear and come serve over here
Where the fuck could they be? Still not over in the corner
This night's a tragedy, I keep thinking I saw her

And I′m thinking
Lights are blinding my eyes
No, that's not them, that's not them either
And I′m thinking
People pushing by, they′re walking off into the night

I'm still not feeling anything, this has got to be a dud
It′s been ages since I necked it, I've smoked six tabs to the nub
Belly′s not even tingling, I just feel a bit pissed
No one looks like mingling, I can't see her or him


And I′m thinking
Lights are blinding my eyes
I'm gonna do another I think, yeah, one more, these are shit
And I'm thinking
People pushing by, they′re walking off into the night

These toilets are a piss-take, queue′s bigger than the door
Gotta get rid of this pill taste, what are they chattin' so much for?
Glad I′m not a girl in this place, they'll be here till dawn
Sure my belly′s tingling a bit, something's happening I′m sure

And I'm thinking
Lights are blinding my eyes
Maybe I shouldn't have done the second one, I feel all fidgety and warm
People pushing by, they′re walking off into the night

Whoa, everything in the room′s spinning
I think I'm going to fall down
My heart′s beating to quick, I'm fucking tripping out
I wonder whether they got in, turned away, no doubt
Who cares, there′s a tune coming in, that one noise is like

I'm thinking
Lights are blinding my eyes
My eyes are rolling back, I′m rubbing my thighs with my hand
And I'm thinking
People pushing by, they're walking off into the night

Yeah, yeah, they cheer
Can they see my hand in the air?
Need to wave ′em over here
Swear Simone′s kissing Dan
My head is twisted sever, bodies rushin' everywhere
They could have texted me when they were near
But I′m fucked and I don't care

Lights are blinding my eyes
What was I thinking about? Ah, who cares? I′m mashed
People pushing by (totally fucking)
They're walking off into the night (I can′t hardly fucking stand)
This is fucking amazing
Ah-ah
