Side Streets

The neighbourhood that I live in
I've always seen as home
At certain times of the evening
It's like a no-go zone
Got cash in my pocket to last the weekend (ba ba ba ba)
And I've got features I quite like and don't mind keeping
But still I walk the side streets home
Even when I'm on my own
If I let myself believe all the bad press and horror stories
I wouldn't set a foot outside
You say I live in a bubble
I find a bubble's best
At a faint whiff of trouble
Just turn and head due west
Quite light on my feet if I ever need be (ba ba ba ba)
As I zip down the street no-one ever sees me
That's why I walk the side streets home
Even when I'm on my own
If I let myself believe all the bad press and horror stories
I wouldn't set a foot outside
I'm tempting fate (I know, tell me about it)
So nonchalant (I know, and I don't doubt it)
I'll probably get it tomorrow
Til then I walk the side streets home
Even when I'm on my own
If I let myself believe...
(Side streets home)
(On my own)
Believe...
