STREETLIGHT
performed on:- INFORMATION TOUR (1987)
- DIPLOMACY TOUR (1994)
- CHILD junket (2004-05)
This quiet but sparkling production features effective, echoing synths and acoustic guitars plus a light hint of drums at the end. The band was so happy with the song in this guise it was one of the few songs not "electrified" for the Information Tour, where it was often played in a medley with "The Breeze" and "Wisdom."
Under the streelight I held her
Didn't care who walked along
Who looked out the window
And told the others
Building full of people
Full of communication
Full of the night
Full of the fire
Like you and me
Under the streetlight we'll kiss
She'll pull me to the concrete
Say "watch this" and laugh
She won't care, y'know
Building across the way
Out of every window
Is a bystander
For the crime
Our little scandal
Don't get me wrong, sweetheart
I don't mind at all
And I want you
I want you
Under the streetlight
Like you and me
Like you and me
