Poison Street Lyrics - New Model Army

We were singing in the rain - like we invented singing 

There's a light in the sky from a million street lights 

And we danced all the steps from all those old time movies 

Rolling down the hill with laughing hearts 

In Poison Street they guard the gates with bitter, bitter tongues 

In Poison Street we'll laugh out loud until the shadows go melt away 

And I love you now like I love you always ever 

Kissing in the dark like a couple of kids 

You gave me life, you gave me light and thunder 

Like a blind man sees for the very first time 

In Poison Street we'll go crashing through the walls that history made for us 

In Poison Street we'll spring the traps and race away 

Ch: So just a kick for this dark damned city of ours 

And a kiss, yeah a kiss for you 

And just a drink, a toast to the days to come 

Now Poison Street won't break us any more 

We were singing in the rain - like we wrote that song 

There's a light in the sky from the streetlights all around 

You gave me life, you gave me light and thunder 

Like a man makes fire for the very first time 

In Poison Street . . .
