Can't we just leave it in the streets
Can't we just leave it and follow me
Here come the rock bands over the docklands
They can tell you how it feels
Can you imagine what it's like
Singing your heart out every night
Eyes that are burning, minds that are turning
For some meaning in our lives

This ain't no quest for fame
She said I'm getting strange
When I get mad about how they're spelling my name
You never put me up
You try and put me down
We didn't steal this sound, it was ours to begin with

We always say that it means so much
If it means so much, why don't we stay in touch
And you always tell me I deserve what's mine
But it's getting harder every time

Can't we just leave it in the streets
Can't we just leave it and follow me
Here come the rock bands over the docklands
They can tell you how it feels
Can you imagine what it's like

Singing your heart out every night
Eyes that are burning, minds that are turning
For some meaning in our lives

I am a satellite
I am alone at night
I see them city lights
I see smoke rising to the sky
There was a feeling here
We used to know that well
Now we must go as well
I guess our home is somewhere else now

We always say that it means so much
If it means so much, why don't we stay in touch
And you always tell me I deserve what's mine
But it's getting harder every time

Can't we just leave it in the streets
Can't we just leave it and follow me
Here come the rock bands over the docklands
They can tell you how it feels
Can you imagine what it's like
Singing your heart out every night
Eyes that are burning, minds that are turning
For some meaning in our lives
