Van Morrison — The Street Only Knew Your Name 1975

[Verse 1] Your street, rich street or poor You should always be sure of your street There's a place in your heart, when you know from the start And you can't be complete without a street [Verse 2] And keep movin' on, just like a train Sometimes you gotta look back to the street again Would you prefer all those castles in Spain Or a view of the street from your window pane? [Chorus] When you were young, so young So very very young When you were young, so young So very very very very young And the street only knew your name And the street only knew your name And the street only knew your namе Oh your precious name, precious namе [Verse 3] There was Walter and John, Katie and Ron Now all hung around the corner lamplight Get together sing some songs Like Boppin' the Blues - you make me feel alright [Verse 4] That was long before fortune and fame No such thing as a star when you've played that game Everyone knew who everyone was There was no pretense in the street no, no [Chorus] When you were young, so young So very very very very young Oh, when you were young, so young So very very very young And the street only knew your name And the street only knew your name And the street only knew your name Oh your name, precious name [Bridge] And you walked around in the heart of town Listening for that sound And you walked around in the heart of town Listening for that sound Blue Suede Shoes, it was the Blue Suede Shoes [Chorus] When you were young, so young So very very very very young When you were young, so young Very very very young And the street only knew your name And the street only knew your name And the street only knew your name [Outro] Talking 'bout the street now baby (Street only knew your name) Or the sound of Bee Bop A Lula (Street only knew your name) Or the sound of Blue Suede Shoes (Street only knew your name) Or the sound of Good Golly Miss Molly (Street only knew your name) Or the sound of Tutti Frutti (Street only knew your name) Or singing What I Say (Street only knew your name) Or singing Boppin' the Blues or Who Slapped John (Street only knew your name) I wanna see only knew your name (Street only knew your name) Yeah yeah yeah (Street only knew your name) Talkin' about the street now baby (Street only knew your name) (Street only knew your name) And the street only knew your name
