The Street Only Knew Your Name Lyrics - Van Morrison

Your street, rich street or poor 

Used to always be sure, on your street 

There's a place in your heart and you know from the start 

Can't be complete outside of the street 

Keep moving on through the joy and the pain 

Sometimes you got to look back to the street again 

Would you prefer all those castles in Spain 

Or the view of the street from your window pane 

And you walked around in the heart of town 

Listening for that sound 

And the street only knew your name 

Well the street only knew your name, your name

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Well Walter and John, Katie and Ron 

Used to hang out by the corner lamp light 

Get together and sing some songs 

Like rhythm and blues you make me feel alright 

That were long before fortune and fame 

Nothing to lose and so much to gain 

Everyone knew who everyone was 

And they knew it because of the street 

And you walk around in the heart of town 

Listening for that sound 

While the street only knew your name 

Well the street only knew your name, oh, your name 

You walk around in the heart of town 

Listening for that sound 

While all the street only knew your name 

The street only knew your name 

Sing it, be-bop-a-lula 

Who slapped John? 

Well the street only knew your name
