SINGER: Simple Minds

SONG:Street Fighting Years

Chased you out of this world, didn't mean to stop
i turned around and suddenly you where gone
like some bird from paradise, the fire and ice
we turned around and suddenly you where gone, gone, gone
and now summer burns a hole inside and years are golden once again
my thoughts return to you my dear young friend
Oh come this way
will you look down this way
i go down on the street
where the wild wind's blowing
here comes a hurricane
I say come down this way
will you look down this way
i need you tonight
i need you around me
I'm looking through the windows
and my mind goes in a whirl
well there's a multitude of candles
burning in the windows of this world
i'm looking at the colours
checking out the straights
i'm counting out the numbers
will tomorrow never change?
Still i hear you and i love you
and i'll follow you elsewhere
and i'll remember this occasion
i'll remember being aware
'cause we've got panic in the evening
we've got fall-out in the streets
and i hear you and i follow you
and i'll call out and i'll say
that i can hear your sister call out
and i hear her call your name
they're calling sweet surrender
and things won't be the same
and don't you think that i don't care
and don't you think that i don't know
and don't you hear them calling out
in a place not far from here
And i hear big wheels are turning
some things are not to fear
they say this is the time and place
they call street fighting years
And i hear great wheels are turning
and i tell you not to fear
they say this is the time and place
they call street fighting years
And i love you, i look for you
and i walk to you, i walk to you
and i hear big wheels are turning
is there no way out of here?
they'll be calling out tomorrow.
