WEAK BECOME HEROES

by the streets

Turn left up the street
nothing but grey concrete and dead beats
grab something to eat
Maccy Ds or KFC, only one choice in this city
dumb voice in my pity
now let's get to the nitty gritty
tune reminds me of my first e
like unique, still sixteen and feeling horny
point to the sky, feel free
see the people all legal
smiles front and behind of me
swim in the deep blue sea
corn fields sway lazily
all smiles, all easy
where're you from?
what's you on and what's your story
mesmerising tones, rising pianos
this is my zone, stop cloning
pick paper, scissors or stone
'cos me and you are the same
I've known you my whole life, I don't know your name
m'name's European Bob, sorted
anyway, gonna have a dance now see ya later
pleased to meet ya
likewise, a pleasure

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

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

the night slowly fades and goes slow motion
all the comotion becomes flowing emotions
same piano loops over
arms wave, eyes roll back and eyes fall open
seeing's off focus
chat to this bloke in the toilets
dizzy new heights, blinded by the lights
these people are for life
it's 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
and imagine the morning after
wars causing disaster
don't talk to me, I don't know ya
for 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
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 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 ones
the tribal drums the sun's risin
we all smile
we all sing

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

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

then the girl in the cafй taps me on the shoulder
I realize five years went by and I'm older
memories smoulder, winter's 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 sights, same sounds
new beats though
solid concrete under my feet
no surprises, no treats
the world stands still as my mind rushes 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
weak become heroes and the stars align
we all smile, we all sing, all sing

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

our respect for Johnny Walker
Paul Okenfold
Nicky Hollaway
Danny Rampiline
and all the people who gave us these times
and for the government I stick my middle finger up
with regards to the criminal justice bill
for all the heroes I met along the way
