Stiff Little Fingers - Hope Street lyrics



(Jake Burns)

So you're living on a false reputation

You're a big man in this town

And it seems by your own estimation

That you're a character of renown

But it's all deceptive

Your facade's defective

Yet it's what's expected

When you're really just the same as all of us

Chorus

You're living on Hope Street

(Living on Hope Street)

You're living on hunger and desire

You're living on Hope Street

(Living on Hope Street)

And I hope that you never loose the fire

Whole lives lived under the burden

The strain of the buying age

Believe me I know it for certain

That you can break from the cage

By holding your head high

Get a little self pride

Self respect on your side

And you'll find that all the doors fly open wide

(Chorus)

And all the problems at your door

Don't let them bother you no more

Just take them all down one by one

You'll find they fall apart

If you face them with head and heart

And what was hard doesn't seem so hard no more

(Chorus twice)
