Street Life - Live (1981/Royal Festival Hall, London)

We would like to welcome to the bandstand

A very lovely lady to help us with this next song

Would you please welcome, Miss Reichii Guillory

I still hang around, neither lost nor found

Hear the lonely sound of music in the night

Nights are always bright

All that's left for me, yeah

I play the street life because there's no place I can go

Street life, that's the only life I know

Street life and there's a thousand cards to play

Street life until you play your life away

You let the people see just who you want to be

And every night you shine just like a superstar

That's how the life is played, a temptin' masquerade

You dress, you walk, you talk

You're who you think you are

Street life, you can run away from time

Street life, for a nickel or a dime

Street life, but you better not get old

Street life, or you're gonna feel the cold

There's always love for sale, a grown up fairy tale

Prince charming always smiles behind a silver spoon

And if you keep it young, your song is always sung

Your love will pay your way beneath the silver moon

Street life, yeah-yeah

Street life, yeah-yeah

Street life, yeah-yeah

Street life

Street life, that's the only life I know

Street life, because there's no place I can go

Street life and there's a thousand roles to play

Street life, until you play your life away

Street life, yeah-yeah

Street life, yeah-yeah

Street life, yeah-yeah

Street life

Street life, 'cause there's no place I can go

Street life, it's the only life I know

Street life and there's a thousand roles to play

Street life, until you play your life away

You let the people see just who you want to be

And every night you shine just like a superstar

That's how the life is played, a temptin' masquerade

You dress, you walk, you talk

You're who you think you are

Street life, you can run away from time

Street life, for a nickel or a dime

Street life, but you better not get old

Street life, or you're gonna soon feel the cold

There's always love for sale, a grown-up fairy tale

Prince charming always smiles behind a silver spoon

And if you keep it young, your song is always sung

Your love will pay your way beneath the silver moon

Street life, yeah-yeah

Street life, yeah-yeah

Street life, yeah-yeah

Street life, yeah

Street life, yeah, I talk about, talk about

Street life, yeah-yeah-yeah

Street life, yeah-yeah-yeah

Street life

Alright

Sure feels good, yeah
