Street Feeling by The Selecter Lyrics

My friend is cut with pain
He's got to get it all out tonight
Like a flame so bright
His feelings running high
No time to sigh
He knows it's just make or break
There's no time to fake it
He's got to get a spark to his imagination
Before it's too late
Before the blue chinned nasty boys
Claim him as a hero

Street feeling that feeling oh oh yeah
Street feeling that feeling oh oh yeah
Street feeling that feeling oh oh yeah

His daytime safety's finished, he's in the night
It's dark and cold, but he's been told
You need to be so tough, shut your mouth, grit your teeth
Believe your bluff get rough
Sitting round with his friends talking 'bout the record machine
Thinks he's too tough too clean
Needs to be mean
Street feeling that feeling oh oh yeah
