Richard Hawley - Tonight The Streets Are Ours

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eBkrs4YpzI

Do you know why you got feelings in your heart

Don't let fear of me then fool you, what you see sets you apart

And there's nothing here to bind you, it's no way for life to start

Do you know that

Tonight the streets are ours

Tonight the streets are ours

These lights in our eyes, they tell no lies

Those people, they got nothing in their souls

And they make our tvs blind us from our visions and our goals

Oh the trigger of time it tricks you so you have no way to grow

But do you know that

Tonight the streets are ours

Tonight the streets are ours

And these lights in our hearts, they tell no lies

And no one else can haunt me the way that you can haunt me

I need to know you want me, I couldn't be without you

And the light that shines around you

No nothing ever matter more than my darling

But tonight the street are ours

Do you know how to kill loneliness at last

Oh there's some much there to heal dear and make tears things of the past

But do you know that

Tonight the street are ours

This Song demonstrares masterful use of common Poetic devices such as assonance, alliteration, plosives, and I can't even remember the names for many more.

 

 

Lyrics

Grim-faced and forbidding
Their faces closed tight
An angular mass of New Yorkers

 

Pacing in rhythm
Race the oncoming night
They chase through the streets of Manhattan

 

Head-first humanity
Pause at a light

Then flow through the streets of the city 

 

They seem oblivious 
To a soft spring rain 
Like an English rain 
So light, yet endless 
From a leaden sky, yeah

 

The buildings are lost 
In their limitless rise 
My feet catch the pulse 
And the purposeful stride 

 

I feel the sense of possibilities
I feel the wrench of hard realities
The focus is sharp in the city 

------

Wide-angle watcher
On life's ancient tales
Steeped in the history of London

 

Green and Grey washes 
In a wispy white veil
Mist in the streets of Westminster

 

Wistful and weathered
The pride still prevails
Alive in the streets of the city 

 

Are they oblivious 
To this quality? 
A quality 
Of light unique to every city's streets 

 

Pavements may teem 
With intense energy 
But the city is calm 
In this violent sea

 

I feel the sense of possibilities
I feel the wrench of hard realities
The focus is sharp in the city
