Tonight the Street Are Ours

this is a brilliant song!!! cant believe nobody has commented on it yet? I read an interview today where Richard Hawley described this as a political song about Britain’s ASBO sub-culture.

it's "there's so much there to heal, dear."

and it's 'theres nothing here to bind you' and 'these lights in our hearts'. And 'and nothing ever mattered more than not doubting'.

Some corrections below:

Do you know why you got feelings in your heart Don't let fear of FEELING fool you what you see sets you apart And there's nothing here to bind you it's no way for life to start Do you know that tonight the streets are ours?

Tonight the street are ours These lights in our HEARTS THEY tell no lies

Those people they got nothing in their souls And they make our TVs blind us from our visions and our goals Oh the trigger of time it tricks you so you have no way to grow Do you know that tonight the streets are ours?

Tonight the street are ours These lights in our HEARTS THEY tell no lies

And no one else can haunt me the way that you can haunt me I need to know you want me I couldn't be without you and the light that shines around you No nothing ever matter more than my darling But tonight the street are ours

Do you know how to kill loneliness at last Oh, there's some much there to HEAL, DEAR and make tears things of the past But do you know that tonight the streets are ours?

Tonight the street are ours Tonight the street are ours These lights in our street are ours

Tonight the street are ours These lights in our hearts they tell no lies

This was the first song I heard by Hawley (quite late I know!) and it's still my favourite.

I don't believe the asbo comment, I think its a love song. Its that when he and his partner are together, if they just let everything go and be hapyp loving each other, they can rule the world (or at least the streets)!

This is a great song to listen to when you cycle down the middle of streets with friends late at night.

Wow, all of these comments and thoughts, but sadly posted under the wrong song… You will notice from the lyrics that this is the thread for Richard Hawley's melancholy ballad "Tonight" from the album, Coles Corner -- not to be mistaken for the drastically more uptempo song "Tonight the Streets are Ours."

I'm fairly new to this website so I'm not sure if the admin's correct these kind of mistakes if contacted (in this case, all 6 comments thus far are in the wrong song thread).
