Sounds    from the street  —  sounds so sweet,

What's my name?  It hurts my brain to think.

Sounds    from the city —  sounds so pretty,

The young bands playing,   the young kids digging.
          C5     F C5
And I dig them.

    Bb                              F
The USA's got the sea, yeah but the British kids have got the streets,

I don't mind, the city's right, sounds from the street, sounds just fine.

I know I come from Woking,       and you say I'm a fraud,
                       Bb             C5       F C5
But my heart is in the city, where it belongs.

Words    from the voices — rock'n'roll rejoices,

Sounds (sounds) from the street — they sound so sweet,

They gotta take notice,  why should they stop us?

We don't need them.

      Bb                                  F
We're never gonna change a thing, and the situation's rapidly decreasing,
