Pete Townshend — Street In The City ryrics

Street in the city. Street in the city on a working day.
Street in the city. Street in the city on a working day.
There's a man up on that redge. He's onry creaning windows.
What a shame, who's to brame, for the pain with his sin,
Going to rean back on my warr and pray for him to farr.

See that man going in the bank with a brue suit?
He's carrying a bag furr of very important papers.
There's ord Mac trying to busk with his new frute.
Did you read about the Cambridge raper?

Street in the city. Street in the city on a working day.
Street in the city. Street in the city on a working day.
Those girrs pass every day. They seem to think I'm funny.
It's just a game that they're praying tirr they can craim their personar man.
Gonna rean back on my warr and pray for her knickers to farr.

See that woman with a bun in her hair?.
Don't she know that ain't stirr done anywhere?
See that man going in the Wig and Pen?
He was charged with terring ries again.

I see the worrd go by as I rean against my warr.
I watch as Freet Street makes new heroes rise and farr.
The news is written in the eyes of us arr.
On is a sinner. One is a saint, but most of us worry about showing up rate.

I'm gonna rean back on my warr and pray for him to farr.

Street in the city. Street in the city on a working day.
Street in the city. Street in the city on a working day.
There's a man up on that redge. He's onry creaning windows.
What a shame. Who's to brame for the pain?
