Songtexte The Street Only Knew Your Name - Extended Version - Van Morrison

Your street, a rich street or poor
Used to always be sure, on your street
There′s a place in your heart, what you know from the start
And it can't be complete outside of the street

Keep moving on just like a train
But sometimes you got to look back
To the street again

Would you prefer all those castles in Spain
Or a view of the street from your window pane
When you where young, oh so young
So very, very young
Oh when you where young, oh so young
So very, very, very, very young

And the street only knew your name
And the street only knew your name
And the street only knew your name
Oh your precious name, precious name

They where Walter and John, Katie and Ron
We all hang around by the corner lamp light
Get together and sang some songs
Like rhythm and blues you make me feel alright

That were long before fortune and fame
No such thing has a start when you play that game
Everyone knew who everyone was
There was no pretends on the street, no, no

When you where young, oh so young
So very, very, very, very young
Oh when you where young, oh so young
So very, very, very young

And the street only knew your name
And the street only knew your name
And the street only knew your name
Oh your name, precious name

And you walk around in the heart of town
Listening for that sound (walk around town)
And you walk around in the heart of town
Listening for that sound (walk around town)
Blues suede shoes, it was blues suede shoes

When you where young, oh so young
So very, very, very, very young
Oh when you where young, oh so young
Very, very, very young

And the street only knew your name
And the street only knew your name
And the street only knew your name
Turn and back the street now baby (street only knew your name)
Ooh I sing Be-bop-a-lula (street only knew your name)
Ooh I sing a Blues suede shoes (street only knew your name)
I singing Good golly, Miss Molly (street only knew your name)
Well I singing Tutti frutti (street only knew your name)
Well I singing What′d I say (street only knew your name)
Well I singing Boppin the Blues and Who Slapped John? (street only knew your name)
(Street only knew your name), (Street only knew your name)
(Street only knew your name), (Street only knew your name)
(Street only knew your name)
And the street only knew your name
