The Streets: Weak Become Heroes

Turn left up the street
Nothing but grey concrete and dead beats
Grab something to eat
Maccy D's or KFC
Only one choice in the city
Done voicing my pity, now let's get to the nitty gritty
Tune reminds me of my first E
Polite, unique, still sixteen and feelin horny
Point to the sky, feel free
A sea of people all equal, smiles in front and behind me
Swim in the deep blue sea, cornfields sway lazily
All smiles all easy, where you from what you on and what's your story?
Mesmerizing tones risin pianos this is my zone so stop clonin
Pick paper scissors or stone
'Cause me and you are same, I've known you all my life I don't know your name
The names European Bob, sorted, anyway
Gonna have dance now see you later, pleased to meet you
Likewise, a pleasure

We were just standin there mindin our own
And it went on and on
We all smile we all sing
The weak become heroes then the stars align
We all sing we all sing all sing

We were just standin there mindin our own
And it went on and on
We all smile we all sing
The weak become heroes then the stars align
We all sing we all sing all sing

The night slowly fades and goes slow motion
All the commotion becomes floatin emotions
Same piano loops over
Arms wave eyes roll back and jaws fall open
I see in soft focus
Chattin to this bloke in the toilets
Dizzy new heights blinded by the lights
These people are for life, it's all back to his place at the end of the night
Yo, They could settle wars with this
If only they will, imagine the worlds leaders on pills, then imagine the mornin after
Wars causing disaster, don't talk to me I don't know ya
But this aint tommorow and for now I still love ya
Hours fly over, sail round diamonds and pearls, never seen so many fit girls
Discover new worlds, look at my watch can't focus
Last two hours I lost, every move fills me with lust
All of life's problems I just shake off
Mad little events happen, things map out and a few blue maddens alight the toilets
Big beefy bouncers out to reveal us, geezers on e's and first timers, kids on whizz darlings on Charlie
They've all come together for this party
All races many faces from places you never heard of
Where you from what's your name and what you on
Sing to the words flex to the fat ones
The tribal drums, the sun's risin we all smile we all sing

We were just standin there mindin our own
And it went on and on
We all smile we all sing
The weak become heroes then the stars align
We all sing we all sing all sing

We were just standin there mindin our own
And it went on and on
We all smile we all sing
The weak become heroes then the stars align
We all sing we all sing all sing

Then the girl in the cafe taps me on the shoulder
I realize five years went by I'm older
Memories smoulder winters colder
But that same piano loops over and over and over
The road shines and the rain washes away
The same Chinese takeaway selling shit in a tray
It's dark all round I walk down, same sight same sounds new beats though
Solid concrete under my feet
No surprises no treats, the world stands still as my mind sloshes round
The washing up bowl in my crown
My life's been up and down since I walked from that crowd

We were just standin there mindin our own
And it went on and on
We all smile we all sing
The weak become heroes then the stars align
We all sing we all sing all sing

We were just standin there mindin our own
And it went on and on
We all smile we all sing
The weak become heroes then the stars align
We all sing we all sing all sing

Out of respect to Johnnie Walker, Paul Oakenfold
Nikki Hollaway, Danni Rampling
And all the people who gave us these times
And to the government I stick my middle finger up
With reguards to the criminal justice bill
For all the heros an' that along the way

The weak become heroes then the stars align
We all sing we all sing all sing

The weak become heroes then the stars align
We all sing we all sing all sing

We were just standin there mindin our own
And it went on and on
We all smile we all sing
The weak become heroes then the stars align
We all sing we all sing all sing
