Street Mission Lyrics

I don't know
Man, I just got here
You got me thinking
I'm about to leave

Some say maybe tomorrow
New direction, hello
What I know know know
What I know know know

I walk tall
I walk in the wild wind
I love to stare
I love to watch myself grow

Someday, maybe tomorrow
New direction, hello
Well I know know know
Well I know know know

Street mission
Street mission
Street mission
Street mission

And I'm promising nothing
I'm just living a smile
I casually arrange it
I know...well I know know know

Street mission
Street mission
Street mission
Street mission

I walk tall
I walk in the wild wind
I live an image
Of plastic and gold

Some say maybe tomorrow
A resurrection, hello
Well I know know know
Well I know know know
Well I know know know
Well I know know know

Oh...

Oh...

Oh...I need something
I need someone
I need you

Oh...I've got something
I've got someone
I've got you

Street mission
Street mission
Street mission

Good night

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song isn't bad at all! This is U2's first ever recorded material. The had won a competition, won $500 and a contract to record a demo tape. This is the first track on that EP, called early demos. It was august 1978. It's available on The complete U2. Edge even does a solo here.

I'm a really big U2 fan and all, but...

I listened to this song once, and now I want those 4 minutes of my life back. They were horrid back then.
