Quiet Streets Songtext
von Hot Potato Band

There′s a street where I can take you
A quiet street where we can whisper
You can't drive
You need a foot to pass
People there are quite religious

You won′t find reception in the house upon that street
You might find some protection from the city light
I don't expect to find you there upon a quiet street
Where city lights don't shine
They mean too much to you


There′s a battle in the silence
You′ve been trying to avoid it
There's a feed that never fills you up
Just the echoes of the useless

An engine light brings you the news to make or break your afternoon
You′ve got no time
You're meeting Billy at the coffee shop soon
I don′t expect to find you there upon a quiet street
Where city lights don't shine
They mean too much to you

A feed is such an ugly word
Fill me up some more
With every little sip you′re feeling drier than before
I don't expect to find you there upon a quiet street
Where city lights don't shine
They mean too much to you
