Don't Go Down That Street

(album: Waking Up With The House On Fire - 1984)

Don't go down that street
In those shoes that squeak
'Cos I get afraid
That you might not come home
Careful how you speak
When you're on the street
'Cos they've gone and broken
every telephone
Don't go down that street, no no no
Don't go down that street, no no no
Don't go down that street
Don't go down that street
Where the brave boys meet
'Cos I'm chicken feed
when they're on their own
Don't get in that car
Things might go too far
[Japanese = don't get in that car]
Don't go down that street, no no no
Don't go down that street, no no no
Don't go down that street
[translated by a penpal of mine: Mayumi Hada]
[Japanese talkover by Miko:]
Don't walk alone
Your parents are afraid
You must observe the curfew
At last you'll be the wolves food
Stop going to discos
You are too young to walk alone
There's too many wolves in the street
Be careful
