Street Corner’s To Fast Cars.©

By JOHN NORTH BRADY 

VERSE 1

HE’S ROLLING FIFTHIES FOR DUST, TO PUT IT UP HIS NOSE,
IT’S A FEELING OF LUST, HE TAKE’S IT THEN IT GO’S
HE’S STARTING TO FADE AWAY, AND IT REALY SHOW’S,
AND ALL THESE YEAR’S HE QUESTIONS WHERE HIS MONEY’S GONE,

HE HAD SOME GET UP AND GO, UNTILL HE LOST IT ALL,
BLAMED EVERYONE ELSE, HE COULDN’T TAKE THE FALL,
NOW HE’S DOWN ON HIS KNEE’S, HE HAS TO LEARN TO CRAWL,
ALL THESE YEAR’S, HE QUESTIONS WHERE IT ALL WENT WRONG.

~ CHORUS ~

WE STARTED PLAYING WITH TOY’S, THEN MOVED ONTO THE BIG BOY’S,
IN A SHORT TIME, SO MUCH CAN HAPPEN,
YEA WELL WE HAD A LAUGH, EVERY WEEKEND “THE FREE GAFF”, 
FROM THE STREET CORNER’S, STRAIGHT INTO FAST CAR’S.

VERSE 2

HE’S CHASING DRAGONS AND GHOST’S, IT KEEPS HIM ON HIS TOE’S.
IT’S A FEELING HE TRUST’S, THE ONLY THING HE KNOW’S,
ONCE A CHILD WITH A GOAL, NOW AN EMPTY SOUL,
AND ALL THESE YEAR’S, HE DIG’S AN EVEN BIGGER HOLE,

HE CHOOSE’S NOT TO LOVE, THE FLESH HE’S LIVING IN,
ALL THE LINE’S ON HIS FACE, TELL US WHERE HE HAS BEEN,
SEE THE TRACK’S ON HIS ARM’S, PIERSING’S IN HIS SKIN,
AND ALL THESE YEAR’S WE’VE WONDERED WHAT HAD COME OF HIM.

~ CHORUS ~

 VERSE 3 

HE TRIED TO MAKE IT BACK, TO WHO HE USED TO BE,
DRINKING CUPS OF THE STUFF, THAT THEY GIVE FOR FREE,
ALL ALONG WITH NO PRAISE FROM HIS FAMILY,
AND ALL THESE YEARS, HE ONLY WANTED THEM TO SEE,

HE LASHED A ROPE TO A TREE, RIGHT UP ABOVE HIS HEAD,
TIED A KNOT, TOOK A JUMP, THEN HE BROKE HIS NECK,
FROM A BOY TO A MAN, NOW THERE’S NOTHING LEFT
AND ALL THESE YEAR’S, IT WAS JUST A CRY FOR HELP.

~ CHORUS ~(X2)

ENDING

HE’S ROLLING FIFTHIES FOR DUST, TO PUT IT UP HIS NOSE,
IT’S A FEALING OF LUST, HE TAKE’S IT THEN IT GO’S
HE’S STARTING TO FADE AWAY, AND IT REALY SHOW’S,
AND ALL THESE YEAR’S HE QUESTIONS WHERE IT ALL WENT WRONG.
