guitar street

Singer: chris rea

there's a crazy sense of duty

as he licks between his fingers

wipes the ketchup from his face and hands

there's a strong determination

that his teachers never witnessed

never close enough to understand

he's like a bull just bred for fighting

he don't deliver nothing

outside the only thing that he knows

school report just says he's lazy

his brother says he's crazy

but take a look 'cos there he goes

through the avenues of fashion

to the palaces of dreams

all the way down guitar street

to some guitars are hot-rods

all along the quest for macho

to others a would-be ticket out of town

for joe a six-string sten gun

in the 'panto-revolution'

and stevie's all just strictly sound

he's like a bull just bred for fighting

he don't deliver nothing

outside the only thing that he knows

school report just says he's lazy

his brother says he's crazy

but anyway take a look 'cos there he goes

through the avenues of fashion

to the palaces of dreams

all the way down guitar street
