Drank in a pub on a saturday night Me and the boys were feelin' alright Then we walked the streets feelin' loads of pride Proud with our roots and our way of lives... Then stood some geezers tried to steal the night Stared at us, tried to pick a fight Me and the boys were waiting for the start As we prepared for an aggro, oh! What a night... That's the story of how our lives go We have been taught like a bunch of snucked up fools Scorned by many, understood by few There's not much things left for us to do Don't wanna go back to dark days of mine Where I've gone too far, I could've killed someone But I don't wanna sit down behaving like a cunt While watching my mates doing the best they can In the streets of uptown Streets of uptown It is our ups and our downs... And it goes around and around... In the streets of uptown Streets of uptown It is our laugh and our tears And it will last for years...
