Lyrics - Dire Straits - On Every Street

Dire Straits
"On Every Street"


There's gotta be a record of you some place
You gotta be on somebody's books
The lowdown - a picture of your face
Your injured looks

The sacred and profane
The pleasure and the pain
Somewhere your fingerprints remain concrete
And it's your face I'm looking for on every street

A ladykiller - regulation tattoo
Silver spurs on his heels
Says - what can I tell you as I'm standing next to you
She threw herself under my wheels
Oh it's a dangerous road
And a hazardous load
And the fireworks over liberty expode in the heat
And it's your face I'm looking for on every street

A three-chord symphony crashes into space
The moon is hanging upside down
I don't know why it is I'm still on the case
It's a ravenous town
And you still refuse to be traced
Seems to me such a waste
And every victory has a taste that's bittersweet
And it's your face I'm looking for on every street

Lyrics - Michael Franti & Spearhead

These are from:

Michael Franti & Spearhead
I'll Be Waiting

The best things in life are things
To live in, to breathe in
The best things in life are things
That something you can believe in

Do you believe me?
Do you believe me when I say
Tonight won't last for long?
And soon it will be gone

But I won't leave you alone, no, no
Whenever you call me, whenever you need me
Wherever you wander until you see me
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting for you
For you, for you, for you

The best things in life are things
The laughing and crying
The best things in life are things
The frightened, they're still fighting

Do you believe me?
Do you believe me, yeah, when I say
Tonight won't last for long?
Soon it will be gone

But I won't leave you alone, no, no
Whenever you call me, whenever you need me
Wherever you wander until you see me
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting for you
For you, for you, for you

You said that you were leaving
But it's alright, it's alright
You said sorry
But it's alright, yes, it's alright

The best things in life are things
Broken and bleeding
The best things in life are things
They're chosen to believe in

So whenever you call me, whenever you need me
Wherever you wander until you see me
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting for you
For you, for you, for you

And I say, eeoh, eeoh, eeoh, eeoh
Eeoh, eeoh, eeoh, eeoh
Eeoh, eeoh, eeoh, eeoh, eeoh

I say it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's gonna be alright now
