Cigdem Göle Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 (edited) 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 Edited November 25, 2008 by Cigdem Eksi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Clark Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) The Camera Eye Rush 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 Edited August 19, 2017 by Michael Clark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
