Текст песни Weak Become Heroes - The Streets

Turn left up the street
Nothing but grey concrete and dead beats
Grab something to eat
Maccie D's or KFC
Only one choice in this city
Done voicing my pity, now let's get to the nitty-gritty
Tune reminds me of my first D
Polite, unique, still 16 and feeling horny

Point to the sky, feel free
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, rising pianos, if this is my zone, so stop cloning

Pick paper, scissors or stone
'Cause me and you are same
Known you all my life, I don't know your name
The names European Bob, sorted anyway
Come have a dance now, see you later, pleased to meet you
Likewise, a pleasure

We were just standing there, minding our own
We went on and on
We all smile, we all sing
The weak become heroes, then the stars align
We all sing, we all sing, sing
We were just standing there, minding our own
We went on and on
We all smile, we all sing
The weak become heroes, then the stars align
We all sing, we all sing, sing

The night slowly fades and goes slow motion
All the commotion becomes floating emotions
Same piano loops over
Arms wave, eyes roll back and jaws fall open
I see in soft focus
Chatting 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 morning after
Wars causing disaster, don't talk to me, I don't know ya
But this ain't tomorrow, 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
You know, 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, darlins on charlie
All come together for this party
All races, so many faces from places you never heard of
Where you from? What's your name and what you want?
Sing to the words, flex to the fat one
The tribal drums
Sun's rising, we all smile, we all sing

We were just standing there, minding 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, sing
We were just standing there, minding our own
We went on and on
We all smile, we all sing
The weak become heroes, then the stars align
We all sing, we all sing, sing

Then the girl in the café taps me on the shoulder
I realize five years went by, I'm older
Memories smolder, 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 standing there, minding our own
We went on and on
We all smile, we all sing
The weak become heroes, then the stars align
We all sing, we all sing, sing
We were just standing there, minding our own
We went on and on
We all smile, we all sing
The weak become heroes, then the stars align
We all sing, we all sing, sing

Out of respect for Johnny Walker
Paul Okenfold, Nicky Hollaway, Danny Rampling
And all the people who gave us these times
And to the government I stick my middle finger up
With regards to the criminal justice bill
For all the heroes I met along the way

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

We were just standing there, minding our own
We went on and on
We all smile, we all sing
The weak become heroes, then the stars align
We all sing, we all sing, sing
