So my baby’s on the road
doing business, selling loads
charming everyone there
with the sweetest smile
Oh tonight
I miss you
Oh tonight
I wish you
could be here with me
but I won’t see you
’til you’ve made it back again
Home and dry
Home and dry
There’s a plane at JFK
to fly you back from far away
all those dark and frantic
transatlantic miles
Oh tonight
I miss you
Oh tonight
I wish you
could be here with me
but I won’t see you
’til you’ve made it back again
Home and dry
Home and dry
Far away
through night and day
you fly long haul tonight
Come to me
you know I’ll he here
when you call tonight
Oh tonight
I miss you
Oh tonight
I wish you
could be here with me
but I won’t see you
’til you’ve made it back again
Home and dry
Home and dry
New York City boy
You?ll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway
When you're a boy, some days are tough
Lying on your bed playing punk rock and stuff
Home is a boot camp you gotta escape
Wanna go and wander in the ticker tape
You feel, the deal, is real
You're a New York City boy
So young, so run
Into New York City
New York City boy
You?ll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway
The street is amazing
The hoochies unreal
Check out all the hardware at the latest deal
Hear a song, that?s the bomb
If you don?t get that mix it?s gone 86
You feel, the deal, is real
you're in New York City
New York City boy
You?ll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway
New York City boy
This is your reward day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway
Then as evening falls
You can return its calls
You feel, the deal, is real
You're a New York City boy
So young, so run
Into New York City
New York City boy (New York City)
You?ll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway
New York City boy, this is your reward day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway
(New York City, New York City)
New York City boy
You?ll never have a bored day
'Cause your a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway
(You?ll never have a bored day, New York City)
New York City boy, This is your reward day
(You?ll never have a bored day, New York City)
'Cause your a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway
Come on, come on, come on, come on
(Together) We will go our way
(Together) We will leave someday
(Together) Your hand in my hands
(Together) We will make our plans
(Together) We will fly so high
(Together) Tell all our friends goodbye
(Together) We will start life new
(Together) This is what we'll do
Sometimes you're better off dead
There's gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head
You think you're mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
In a restaurant in a West End town
Call the police, there's a madman around
Running down underground to a dive bar
In a West End town
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
West End girls
Too many shadows, whispering voices
Faces on posters, too many choices
If, when, why, what?
How much have you got?
Have you got it, do you get it, if so, how often?
And which do you choose, a hard or soft option?
In a West End town, a dead end world
(In a West End town, a dead end world)
The East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
West End girls
West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
Oooh West End town, a dead end world
East End boys, West End Girls
West End girls
You can find a place that no one knows
Where money talks, and streets are gold
Someone stands in every door
And if they speak, they break the law
(Who was that mouth?)
(Who was that mouth?)
Ask a question - blank faces
Read the news and turn the pages
Watch them play a different game
And no one knows your name
(We...)
(West)
No one knows your name
(Uh Uh Uh)
(West End girls)(West End girls)
(West End girls)(West End girls)
You've got a heart of glass or a heart of stone
Just you wait 'til I get you home
We've got no future, we've got no past
Here today, built to last
In every city, in every nation
From Lake Geneva to the Finland station
In a West End town, a dead end world
(In a West End town, a dead end world)
The East End boys and West End girls
(East End Boys, West End girls)
West End girls
(West End girls)
(How far have you been?)
(West End girls)
And no one knows your name
(And no one knows your name)
No one knows your name (No one knows your name)
No one knows your name (No one knows your name)
I want to run, I want to hide
I want to break down the walls that hold me inside
I want to reach out, and touch the flame
Where the streets have no name
Ah-ha-ah
I want to feel the sun on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear without a trace
I want to take shelter from poison rain
Where the streets have no name
Ah-ha-ah
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building, then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
Where the streets have no name
Can't take my eyes off of you
I love you, baby, and if it's quite alright
I need you, baby, to warm my lonely nights
So let me love you, baby
Let me love you
The city's aflood, our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind, trampled in dust
I'll show you a place, high on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Ah-ha-ah
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building, then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
It's all I can do
Where the streets have no name
I can't take my eyes off of you
(Ooh aah)
Love you, baby, let me love you
Where the streets have no name
