These Streets

Paolo Nutini These Streets Lyrics
1.Jenny Don'T Be Hasty

but i'm one that you can't see if i'm only 18
tell me who made these rules
obviously not you
oh, jenny don't be hasty
no, don't treat me like a baby
let me take you where you'll let me
i'll be around again to see the other men
they're more adequate in the age deferment(?)
i did not think you cared.
there'd be no problems here
but now you're looking at me like you're disgusted
then i'm definitely waiting for you to smile and change your
mind
then i'll say i'm sorry and i'll wrap my arms 'round your body
i really hope that you forgive in a hurry
oh, jenny don't be hasty
oh, jenny don't be hasty
don't treat me like a baby
let me take you where you'll let me
oh, jenny you are crazy!
oh, jenny you are crazy!
first i'm perfect, then i'm lazy
and i was calling you my baby
and all the times that you just left me
you said you loving me
don't treat me like a baby
let me take you where you'll let me
oh, jenny you are crazy!
first i'm perfect, then i'm lazy
and i was calling you my baby
and all the times that you just left me
you said you loving me
It's far from friend be free
but now what you can see
from on

oh, jenny don't be hasty
you said you loving me

i'll be around again to see the other men
oh, jenny you are crazy!


oh, jenny don't be hasty


2.Last Request (Alternative Mix)

Lie down
Remember it's just you and me
Don't sell out
bow out
I just want you closer
Is that alright
Grant my last request and just let me hold you
Grant my last request and just let me hold you
Don't shrug your shoulders
Lay down beside me
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere
But one last time just go there
Oh, I've found
that I'm bound
To wander down that one way road
And I realise all about your lies
I just want you closer
Is that alright
Oh, baby, baby, baby
Grant my last request and just let me hold you
Don't shrug your shoulders
Lay down beside me
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere
But one last time just go there
Oh, I've found
Tell me how can
One last time let's go there
Grant my last request and just let me hold you
Don't shrug your shoulders
Lay down beside me
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere
But one last time just go there
Oh, I've found
Don't shrug your shoulders
Lay down beside me
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere
But one last time just go there
Oh, I've found
Lay down beside me
Oh, baby, baby, baby
Grant my last request and just let me hold you
I just want you closer
Oh, I've found
I just want you closer
One last time let's go there


One last time let's go there


3.Rewind

of the wreck you went and left
and i'm dealing with dilemmas
in my not-so-stressful life
and i'm drinking stronger spirits
i made my home here on the floor
and i'm losing all ambition
and i'm going all out
no sleeping at night
but i'm going from bar to bar
why can't we just rewind
why can't we just rewind
oh remember at 16
oh the crazy drunken night we had
when i kissed you in the hallway
well 2 years on
no sleeping at night
but i'm going from bar to bar
why can't we just rewind
why can't we just rewind
no sleeping at night
but i'm going from bar to bar
why can't we just rewind
why can't we just rewind
you might blame it on me
but you persisted that we fold
wiped your hands of me
and said you needed more
more
and i'm not sleeping at night
but i'm going from bar to bar
why can't we just rewind
why can't we just rewind
and i'm not sleeping at night
but i'm going from bar to bar
why can't we just rewind
why can't we just rewind
wo woah woah woah
wo woah woah woah
wo woah woah woah
wo wo woah
can't we just rewind

no sleeping at night
no sleeping at night


and i'm going all out
and i'm not sleeping at night

well 2 years on
oh remember at 16
no sleeping at night
you might blame it on me
and i'm not sleeping at night
wo woah woah woah


4.Million Faces

it's the last thing I hear at night
and the first thing I hear in the morning.
and as I start to let it burn my head
you slowly creep into bed
and i'm done talking
you say you know how i'm feeling
Oh a million faces pass my way
Oh they're all the same
nothing seem to change anytime I look around
Oh who knows just what the future holds
Tired as hell and falling up the stairs
filled with a thousand cares
as you walk out from the bedroom
though it feels like all my fire has gone
you just turn me on
can't believe how much I want you
you say you know how i'm feeling
Oh a million faces pass my way
Oh they're all the same
nothing seem to change anytime I look around
Oh who knows just what the future holds
we're distracted by the hard times
we're distracted by the hard times
and the troubles that we make
let us throw them in the ocean
oh the phone you know it never stops
it's the last thing I hear at night
Oh a million faces pass my way
Oh they're all the same
nothing seem to change anytime I look around
Oh who knows just what the future holds
we're distracted by the hard times
and the troubles that we make
let us throw them in the ocean
let it wash our cares away
and the troubles that we make
let us throw them in the ocean
oh the phone you know it never stops
let it wash our cares away...
Oh a million faces pass my way
Oh a million faces pass my way

Tired as hell and falling up the stairs
we're distracted by the hard times
we're distracted by the hard times
Oh a million faces pass my way


oh the phone you know it never stops
let it wash our cares away


5.These Streets

Into the big bad world
where it takes you 'bout an hour
just to cross the road
just to stumble across another poor old soul from
The dreary old lanes to the high-street madness
Eye fight with my brain to believe my eyes
and it's harder than you think
to believe this sadness
that creeps up my spine
and haunts me through the night
and life is good and the girls are gorgeuos
suddenly the air smells much greener now
and I'm wondering 'round
with a half pack of cigarettes
These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in quay
I'll get used to this eventually
where'd the days go
When all we did was play
And the stress that we were under wasn't stress at all
just a run and a jump into a harmless fall from
walking by a high-rise to a landmark square
you see millions of people with millions of cares
And I struggle to the train to make my way home
Life is good
And the sun is shining
Everybody flirts to their ideal place
And the children all smile as a boat shuffled by them
These streets have too many names for me
These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in quay
I'll get used to this eventually
I know
These streets have too many names for me
These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in quay
I'll get used to this eventually
I know
Life is good
And the girls are gorgeous
suddenly the air smells much greener now
and I'm wondering 'round
with a half pack of cigarettes
searching for the change that I've lost somehow
I'm used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in quay
I'll get used to this eventually
I know
These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in quay
I'll get used to this eventually
I know
Life is good
Life is good
These streets have too many names for me
where'd the days go
Life is good
These streets have too many names for me


These streets have too many names for me


6.New Shoes

Woke up late one thursday

i'm looking tired and feeling quite sick
i felt like there was something missing in my day to day life
so i quickly opened the wardrobe
pulled out some jeans and a T-Shirt that seemed clean
topped it off with a pair of old shoes
that were ripped around the seams
and i thought these shoes just don't suit me CHORUS:
Hey, I put some new shoes on
and suddenly everything is right
I said
hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling
it so inviting
Oh, short on money
but long on time
slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine
and i'm running late
and i dont need an excuse
Woke up late one thursday
and i'm seeing stars as i'm rubbing my eyes
and i felt like there were two days missing
as i focused all the time
and i made my way to the kitchen
but i had to stop from the shock of what i found
a room full of all my friends dancing round and round
and i thought hello new shoes
Take me wondering through these streets
Hey, I put some new shoes on
and suddenly everything is right
I said
hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling
it so inviting
Oh, short on money
but long on time
slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine
and i'm running late
and i dont need an excuse
Woke up late one thursday
Take me wondering through these streets
where bright lights and angels meet
stone to stone they take me on
im walking to the break of dawn
where bright lights and angels meet
stone to stone they take me on
im walking to the break of dawn
Hey, I put some new shoes on
and suddenly everything is right
I said
hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling
it so inviting
Oh, short on money
but long on time
slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine
and i'm running late
and i dont need an excuse
Woke up late one thursday
Hey, I put some new shoes on
and suddenly everything is right
I said
hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling
it so inviting
Oh, short on money
but long on time
slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine
and i'm running late
and i dont need an excuse
Woke up late one thursday


Take me wondering through these streets


7.White Lies

and it rests with your eyes
please don't fade and please don't cry
'cause it's all white lies
take a chance watch it fall
grab too much and lose it all
now i've lost my disguise
stay here
lie here with me
oh lo-fi
lonley sighs
I will roam lost but never alone
hide with me
would it help if I tried
or has it sailed and passed me by
first love grows then it does
stay here
lie here with me
oh lo-fi
lonley sighs
I will roam lost but never alone
hide with me
now you move with the tide
and i've heard you've found peace of mind
and I know that life's design
moves around white lies
white lies
white lies
white lies

stay here


now you move with the tide
would it help if I tried
stay here


8.Loving You

i've been waiting for your call for so long
and it must been hard just to follow your soul,
to stick to the road that your hearth wants you to go
and as you slide through the door
with your morals on your sleeve
and i think its time for all those morals to leave
so lets get down and freaky baby
and i said
and i said
when your loving me
im loving you
and i love your pwroess and the things that you do
and its your flawless soul
oooooo so many people think weve got it wr
they try to break us but we wont play along
so lets get down and dirty baby
oh goin on
when your loving me
im loving you
and i love your pwroess and the things that you do
and its your flawless soul
oooooo so many people think weve got it wr
and i was so satidain
and i eneded another home
and you fly in my arms
when your loving me
when your loving me
im loving you
and i love your pwroess and the things that you do
and its your flawless soul

9.Autumn

Hungry hands turing soft and old
My hero crying as we stood out their in the cold
Handsome smiles wearing handsome shoes
Too young to say
though I swear he knew
And i hear him singing while he sits there in his chair
And I look at you
and I see me
Making noise so restlessly
But now its quiet
and I can hear you sing
My little fish don't cry
Autumn leaves how fading now
that smile that ive lost
well i've found some how
Because you still live on in my fathers eyes
These autumn leaves
all these autumn leave
all these autumn leaves
are yours tonite
Handsome smiles wearing handsome shoes
And I look at you


Autumn leaves how fading now


10.Alloway Grove + Last Request (Live) (Hidden Track)

to see a girl
thats prettier than a diamond in the sun
oh what fun!
I wonder if she's been naked in her room since i've been gone
however ever much you use me baby
come on use me more
however ever much you use me baby
getting off the train
to see a girl
that's sweeter than an apple picked from Adam's tree
oh glory be!
and I wonder if she's been pressed against an unfamiliar wall
however ever much you want me
I swear i'll make you want me more
however ever much you want me
arriving at the door
just to be told that the girl i'm missing has been in London for
a while
no more northern skies for her
they say she's left a letter up the stair for everyone
however ever much I love you
you will always love me more
however ever much I love you
you will always love me more
and I guess it's true
I'll love you more and more
I'll love you more and more
I'll love you more
I'll love you more and more
I'll love you more
I'll love you more and more
I'll love you more
I'll love you more and more
I'll love you more and more
I'll love you more
I'll love you more and more
I'll love you more
I'll love you more and more
I'll love you more and more
I'll love you more
I'll love you more
I'll love you more and more
I'll love you more
I'll love you more and more
I'll love you more
I'll love you more and more
arriving at the door
however ever much you use me baby

however ever much you want me


getting off the train
I'll love you more and more
however ever much I love you
