Weak Become Heroes (Röyksopp's Memory Lane Mix) - The Streets

Turn left up the street

Nothing but gray concrete and dead beats

Grab something to eat, Maccy D’s or KFC

Only one choice in the city

Done voice in my pity, now let’s get to the nitty gritty

Tune reminds me of my first E

Like unique still sixteen and feelin' horny

Point to the sky feel free

A sea of people, all equal smiles in front and behind me

Swim in the deep blue sea, cornfields sway lazily

All smiles, all easy, where you from?

What you on and what’s your story?

Mesmerizing tones, risin' pianos, this is my zone so stop clonin'

Pick paper scissors or stone

'Coz me and you are same, I known you all my life

I don’t know your name

The name’s European Bob, saw it anyway

Gonna have dance now, see you later, please to meet you

Likewise a pleasure

We were just standin' there mindin' our own

And it went on and on

We all smile, we all sing

Weak become heroes, then the stares align

We all sing, we all sing, sing

We were just standin' there mindin' our own

And it went on and on

We all smile, we all sing

Weak become heroes, then the stares align

We all sing, we all sing, sing

The night slowly fades and goes slow motion

All the commotion becomes floatin' emotions

Same piano loops over

Arms wave, eyes roll back and jaws fall open

I see in soft focus

Chattin' to this bloke in the toilets

Dizzy new heights blinded by the lights

These people are for life, it’s all back to his place

At the end of the night, they could settle wars with this

If only they will imagine, the worlds leaders on pills

Then imagine the mornin' after

War’s causing disaster, don’t talk to me, I don’t know ya

But this ain’t tomorrow and for now I still love ya

Hours fly over, sail round diamonds and pearls

Never seen so many fit girls

Discover new worlds, look at my watch, can’t focus

Last two hours I lost, every move fills me with lust

All of life’s problems, I just shake off

Mad little events happen, things map out and

A few blue maddens alight the toilets

Big beefy bouncers out to reveal us, geezers on E’s

And first timers, kids on whizz, darlin’s on Charlie

All come together for this party

All races, many faces from places you never heard of

Where you from, what’s your name and what you want?

Sing to the words, flex to the fat ones

The tribal drums, the sun’s risin'

We all smile, we all sing

We were just standin' there mindin' our own

It went on and on

We all smile, we all sing

Weak become heroes, then the stares align

We all sing, we all sing, sing

We were just standin' there mindin' our own

It went on and on

We all smile we all sing

Weak become heroes, then the stares align

We all sing, we all sing, sing

Then the girl in the cafe taps me on the shoulder

I realize five years went by, I’m older

Memories smoulder, winters colder

But that same piano loops over and over and over

The road shines and the rain washes away

The same Chinese take away, selling shit in a tray

It’s dark all round, I walk down same sight

Same sounds, new beats though

Solid concrete under my feet

No surprises, no treats, the world stands still

As my mind sloshes round, the washin' up bowl in my crown

My life’s been up and down since I walked from that crowd

We were just standin' there mindin' our own

It went on and on

We all smile, we all sing

Weak become heroes, then the stares align

We all sing, we all sing, sing

We were just standin' there mindin' our own

It went on and on

We all smile, we all sing

Weak become heroes, then the stares align

We all sing, we all sing, sing

Out of respect for Johnny Walker, Apollo, Ford

Niki Holloway, Danny Rampling

And all the people who gave us these times

And to the goverment I stick my middle finger up

With regards to the Criminal Justice Bill

For all the heroes who came along the way

Weak become heroes, then the stares align

We all sing, we all sing, sing

Weak become heroes, then the stares align

We all sing, we all sing, sing

We were just standin' there mindin' our own

It went on and on

We all smile, we all sing

Weak become heroes, then the stares align

We all sing, we all sing, sing
