The Streets - Soldiers lyrics

We line the streets like soldiers daily
To let them know that we ain't fading
This isn't fear, you can see it in my eyes
It's gonna stay like this
It's gonna stay like this
We line the streets like soldiers daily
To let them know that we ain't fading
This isn't fear, you can see it in my eyes
It's gonna stay like this until they realise

Eighty thousand people in a
State of rowdy fever
There will never be a sequel to this evening
Singing in the rafters
In the wings and over galleys
And then after all the laughing
Just a draught
From the wings and over galleys 'til
I'm in a lonely alley
If a feeling from my childhood comes
To me then I will rally
With all the clothes and all the
Rose-tinted rows that go and sully
Soak up that moment, woe is the finale

Lonely, I am sinking in and over thinking it
Looking at the goal, only slowly
It is shrinking
Hesitate, hesitate, hesitate, wait
Any day, any day (Too late)

We line the streets like soldiers daily
To let them know that we ain't fading
This isn't fear, you can see it in my eyes
It's gonna stay like this
It's gonna stay like this
We line the streets like soldiers daily
To let them know that we ain't fading
This isn't fear, you can see it in my eyes
It's gonna stay like this until they realise

The cheapest throwaway shades are
My deepest stowaway aid
I'm up with the angels but keep
A toe in the trade
Known these folks since I was little
But only through this ritual
It's a pity they don't know me
But what is there else than this?
Sweeping and sweeping, the speaking unceasing
From steeple to steeple
The people are shrieking
Soon we parade through the fence
Absolutely Dame Judi Dench'd and then stop
Tell 'em to score and they flop

I don't think I like this
I'm only ever nervous
I'm a fighter, I'm a fighter
But tonight I'd like to flight
Hesitate, hesitate, hesitate, wait
Any day, any day (Too late)

We line the streets like soldiers daily
To let them know that we ain't fading
This isn't fear, you can see it in my eyes
It's gonna stay like this
It's gonna stay like this
We line the streets like soldiers daily
To let them know that we ain't fading
This isn't fear, you can see it in my eyes
It's gonna stay like this until they realise

The past isn't over, last minute grow
Ask me to show you, ask me to go
Or stab me in the throat
Hesitate, hesitate, hesitate, wait
Any day, any day (Too late)
