Lyrics

The neighborhood that I live in
I've always seen as home
At certain times at the evening
It's like a no-go zone

Got cash in my pocket to last the weekend
And i've got feet trussed up white like
And don't mind keeping

But I still walk the side streets home
Even when i'm on my own
If I let myself believe all the bad press and all the stories
I wouldn't set a foot outside

You say I live in a bubble
I find the bubbles best
Add a thing a truffle
Just turn and head due west
Quite light on my feet if I ever need be
As I zip down the street
No one ever sees me

But I still walk the side streets home
Even when i'm on my own
If I let myself believe all the bad press and all the stories
I wouldn't set a foot outside

I'm tempting fate
(I've no temerity about it)
So nonchalant
(I know and I don't doubt it)
I'll probably get it tommorrow

Till then I walk the side streets home
Even when i'm on my own
If I let myself believe…

(Side streets home)
(On my own)
Believe..
