Joey's On the Street Lyrics


As he combed his hair
The night called out his name
Like every hero he has to brag and show his fame
Well Joeys got to prove he's the leader of the pack
But once you start a running
There ain't no turning back
He's the kid that cried wolf and got the blameSo Joeys on the street again
But his freedoms running out
When you play with fire
One tear can put it outEverybody wants Joey to act his age
But like an eagle he's locked in a parrots cage
Well Joeys got to prove he's the leader of the pack
But once you start a running
There ain't no turning back
He's the kid that cried wolf and got the blameSo Joeys on the street again
But his freedoms running out
When you play with fire
One tear can put it outSo he winks to the mirror

And brides don't wear his ring
Even if I could I'm still there try againWell Joeys got to prove he's the leader of the pack
But once you start a running
There ain't no turning back
He's the kid that cried wolf and got the blameSo Joeys on the street again
But his freedoms running out
When you play with fire
One tear can put it out

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Sham 69 formed in Hersham, Surrey in 1976 (the 12 November issue of NME notes they were rehearsing at this time, although only Jimmy Pursey would remain from this early line-up 12 months later). Sham 69 lacked the art school background of many British punk bands of the time, and brought in football chant back-up vocals and a sort of inarticulate political populism. The band had a large skinhead following (left wing, right wing and non-political), which helped set the tone for the Oi! movement.
