Sounds From The Street - The Jam

Sounds from the street, sounds so sweet

What’s my name?

It hurts my brain to think

Sounds from the city, sound so pretty

Young bands playing

Young kids digging — And I dig them

The USA’s got the sea

Yeah, but the British kid’s got the streets I don’t mind, the city’s

Right

Sounds from the street, sounds just fine

I know I come from Woking and you say I’m a fraud

But my heart’s in the city, where it belongs

Words from the voices

Rock and roll rejoices

It’s something new, it’s something young for a change

Sounds from the street, they sound so sweet

They gotta take notice

Why should they stop us?

We don’t need them

We’re never gonna change a thing

And the situation’s rapidly decreasing

But what can I do?

I’m trying to be true

That’s more than you, at least I’m doing something
