seven stories (australian band) - couldn't get arrested lyrics

[verse]
well i could not get arrested, i could not find a place to hide
i could not get a message to the fatman living on the other side
living was a crime but i could not get arrested
all the doors were closing as i finally made my way into the square
i b+ttonholed the banker but he lied and said that you were never there
my world was growing colder and all the doors were closing

[chorus]
when i walk down your street
oh, sister
when i walk down your street
mother mothеr
when i walk down your street
i can begin again

[verse]
mercy was a strangеr to the faces all lined up along the bar
i tried to kiss the barmaid so they beat me black and blue against the car
i stumbled on and cursed this town where mercy was a stranger
i could not raise a whisper when they asked me where all the years had gone
i was choking on the bitterness and fury of a life gone wrong
they waited for my answer but i could not raise a whisper

[chorus]
when i walk down your street
oh, sister
when i walk down your street
mother mother
when i walk down your street
i can begin again
[verse]
you were standing in the doorway when i first came round the corner
and the look of love you gave me will stay with me for years
you took my broken body and held me in your arms
then you rocked me like a baby like a child against your breast
i said “i’m so tired of talking, i can’t keep my eyes open”
you said “lay your burdens down, lay your heavy head against me
and you will wake tomorrow into a different world”

[chorus x2]

when i walk down your street
i can begin again
