Poison Street (Live at SO36 16/07/2022)

[Verse 1]
We were singing in the rain like we invented singing
There's a light in the sky from a million street lights
We were dancing all the steps from all those old time movies
Rolling down the hill with laughing hearts

[Chorus]
In Poison Street
We'll go crashing through the walls that history made for us
In Poison Street
We'll spring the traps and race away

[Verse 2]
And I love you now like I love you always ever
Kissing in the dark like a couple of kids
You gave me life, you gave me light and thunder
Like a blind man sees for the very first time

[Chorus]
In Poison Street
We'll go crashing through the walls that history made for us
In Poison Street
We'll spring the traps and race away

[Bridge]
So just a kick (Woah-oh) for this dark damned city of ours
And a kiss (Woah-oh), yeah, a kiss for you
And just a drink (Woah-oh), a toast to the days to come
Now Poison Street won't break us any more
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
We were singing in the rain, like we wrote that song
There's a light in the sky from the streetlights all around
You gave me life, you gave me light and thunder
Like a man makes fire for the very first time

[Chorus]
In Poison Street
We'll go crashing through the walls that history made for us
In Poison Street
We'll spring the traps and race away

[Outro]
So just a kick (Woah-oh) for this dark damned city of ours
And a kiss (Woah-oh), yeah, a kiss for you
And just a drink (Woah-oh), a toast to the days to come
Now Poison Street won't break us any more
Now Poison Street won't break us any more

[Spoken Outro]
Thank you
Thanks for everything, really
We had a long trip
And it's definitely not over
Uh, we'll go back even earlier with "Bittersweet"
I think this is the first thing we ever, ever, ever, ever recorded
Thank you, see you tomorrow
