- Street Life LyricsI still hang around...
Neither lost, nor found.
Hear the lonely sound,
of music in the night,
Nights are always bright...
Thats all thats left for me..
Yeahe..
I play the street life,
Because there's no place I can go
Street life
And it's the only life I know
Street life
And there's a thousand parts to play
Street life
Until you play your life away
You let the people see
Just who you want to be
And every night you shine
just like a super star
That's how the life is played
A ten cent Masquerade
You dress, and walk, and talk
you're who you think you are...
Street life
You can run away from time
Street life
For a nickel, or a dime
Street life
But you better not get old
Street life
Or you're gonna feel the cold
There's always love for sale
A grown-up fairy tale
Prince charming always smiles
behind a silver spoon
And if you keep it young
Your song is always sung
Your love will pay your way
beneath the silver moon
Street life..
Street life..
Street life..
Ohohw Steet life...
Ehheh..
Yeahyeah..
I play the street life,
Because there's no place I can go
Street life
And it's the only life I know
Street life
And there's a thousand parts to play
Street life
Until you play your life away,
Oahw !!..

Facts about Street Life
✔️
Street Life is written by Will Jennings, Joe Sample.
✔️
It is first released in 1979 as part of Crusaders's album "Street Life" which includes 6 tracks in total. This song is the opening track on this album.
✔️
When we interpret the meaning being expressed, the Crusaders' 'Street Life' song is very imaginative when it comes to depicting the hardships and delusions of city living. It talks about the dissimulation that people resort to in order to confront life’s difficult situations, and the comparison is made to a seducing masquerade where one performs various parts to cope. The words reach out to the ideas of non-authenticity, the flow of time, and the pains one puts up with to be seen through in a world where love and success are perceived as exchanges. Street life lyrics mainly reflect love, introspection, social commentary, empowerment, and nostalgia. Whereas, at the same time, the song emphasizes struggles of street life, identity and facade, the passage of time and love versus materialism. The lyrics deal with themes of street life and adult situations, which might not be appropriate for the very young children. Although there is no profanity or graphic content, the references to adult themes and the notion of 'love for sale' imply that parental guidance is recommended.
