The Streets - "Blinded by the Lights"

This is a sweet tune, that's driving me fuckin' crazy lately!
It's a brit band, with a pure brit accent and of course it's strange south London lifestyle.
It's depressing, but I can relate to it most days...

If you care to listed to clips from their songs, this is the official site:
The Streets

Anyway... these are the lyrics.


"That's the one, Oi
How did he not find the baggy, with his hand in my shoe?
Way too close for me, ah, well at least they allowed me through.
Should be a good night in here, Ramo in the main room,
People keep pushing me though, no reception on the phone.
And I'm thinkin'...

CHORUS:
[Lights are blinding my eyes]

They said they'd be here, they said, they said in the corner,
And I'm thinkin'...

[People pushin' by, then walkin' off into the night]

These look well speckly, a bit green and blue,
Threes is well cheap though, so I'll take three if I need to.
Right, I'm on the plan, I wish the bouncers would go away,
Borrow water off this man, here goes nothing -- OK,
And i'm thinkin'...

[Lights are blinding my eyes]

Argh, that's proper rank, that tastes like hair-spray
And I'm thinkin'...

[People pushin' by, then walkin' off into the night]

I hate coming to the entrance, just to get bars on my phone,
You have no new messages, so why haven't they phoned?
Menu, Write message, "So where are you and Simone?"
Send message, Dan's number, where've they gone?
And I'm thinkin'...

[the Lights are blinding my eyes]

Why's the message pending? Where the fuck are ya?
And I'm thinkin'...

[People pushin' by, there walkin' off into the night]

Hmm, brandy or beer? Waters a good idea,
Wish that bar lady'd appear; and come serve over here.
Where the fuck could they be? Still not over in the corner,
This night's a tragedy, I keep thinking I saw her.
And I'm thinkin'...

[Lights are blinding my eyes]

No thats not them, thats not them either...
And I'm thinkin'...

[People pushin' by, then walkin' off into the night]

I'm still not feeling anything, this has got to be a dud.
It's been ages since I necked it, I smoked six tabs to the nub.
Belly's not even tingling, I just feel a bit pissed...
No-one looks like minglin', I can't see her or him...
And I'm thinkin'...

[Lights are blinding my eyes]

I'm gonna do another, I think. Yeah, one more, these are shit.
And I'm thinkin'...

[People pushin' by, then walkin' off into the night]

These toilets are a piss take, queue's bigger than the door.
Gotta get rid of this pill taste, what are they chattin' so much for?
Glad I'm not a girl in this place, they'll be here til dawn.
Sure my belly's tingling a bit, summat's happening I'm sure.
And I'm thinkin'...

[Lights are blinding my eyes]

Maybe I shouldnt have done the second one, I feel all fidgety and warm...

[People pushin' by, then walkin' off into the night]

Whoa, everything in the room is spinning, I think I'm going to fall down,
My heart's beating too quick, I'm fucking tripping out.
I wonder whether they got in, turned away no doubt.
Who cares, this is a tune coming in, that one where he's just like..
I'm thinkin'...

[Lights are blinding my eyes]

My eyes are rolling back, I'm rubbing my thighs with my hand.
And I'm thinkin'...

[People pushin' by, then walkin' off into the night]

Yeah, yeah, they cheer - can they see my hand in the air?
Need to wave'em over here. Swear Simone's kissing Dan.
My head is twisted severe, body's rushing everywhere,
They could have texted me when they were near, but I'm fucked and I don't care.

[Lights are blinding my eyes]

What was I thinkin' about? Ah, who cares, I'm maaaashed.

[People pushin' by, then walkin' off into the night]

Totally fucked, can't hardly fuckin' stand.
This is fuckin' amazing -- argh."
