Neighborhood Lyrics - David Byrne

Funky beats, Barrow Street 

Walking with your dog 

I see you, you see me 

Then we stop and talk 

Later on, some cafe 

Thinking what you said 

Children laugh, telling jokes 

Till their eyes are red 

The people feel so good, yeah 

Say, boy, say, girl 

All in my neighborhood, yeah 

Say, boy, say, girl

Modern Love: The Best Top 40 Love Songs For Valentine's Day 

We got peace, love, and monkey business 

Gonna reach the very top 

There'll be pride, hope, and Sunday mornings 

All the things I'm thinking of 

We could change the world, my love 

In the night while we are sleeping 

The power's in my neighborhood 

Liquor store, stop and shop 

Old folks sit outside 

Restaurants and laundromats 

And she's still on my mind 

April, May, June, July 

August comes around 

Pretty soon, a year's gone by 

And we're still hanging out 

Photos 

The people feel so good, yeah 

Say, boy, say, girl 

All in my neighborhood, yeah 

Say, boy, say, girl 

We got peace, love, and monkey business 

Gonna reach the very top 

There'll be pride, hope, and Sunday mornings 

All the things I'm thinking of 

We could change the world, my love 

In the night while we are sleeping 

Now the rich get richer 

And the poor stay poor 

And folks get restless 

If it don't change soon 

But there's a sweet sensation 

Turnin' bad to good 

And things get better 

In my neighborhood, neighborhood 

Neighborhood 

So burn on 

You little candle 

Put your light into my head 

There's a lone wolf 

He's on the mountain 

He's the friend you never had 

We got peace, love, and monkey business 

Gonna reach the very top 

There'll be pride, hope, and Sunday mornings 

All the things I'm thinking of 

So come on down 

Come on, come on 

Come on down 

Come on, come on 

Come on down 

Come on, come on 

Come on down
