I’m steppin’ out into the walk of life
Hold tight the vibe is right
Feel the heat that’s in the air
People watchin’ everywhere

Rush hour slow it down
Stop and listen to the summer sound
Playing in the park and street talkin’
London Town is walkin’, walkin’

London Town is walkin’ I said it’s really talkin’, yeah
Steppin’ in the walk of life
I said, makin’ out the walk of life
London Town I’m stalkin’
I said I’m really walkin’, yeah

The sun goes down and the lights come up
So we move on to a club
Surround yourself with the feel-good groove
People dancin’ everywhere

Make your move go, turn it up
Rockin’ rhythm at the rasta club
Singin’ in the dark and heart thumpin’
London Town is thumpin’
I said it was jumpin’

London Town is walkin’
I said it’s really talkin’, yeah
Steppin’ in the walk of life
I said, makin’ out the walk of life
London Town I’m stalkin’
I said I’m really walkin’, yeah

Zing zinga zinga zing zinga zinga
Zing zing zinga zinga zinga zinga
Zinga zaaaaahhhhh
Zing zinga zinga zing zaaaaahhhhh
Zing zaaahhhh ha ahhh

The sun is risin’ but we haven’t slept
I’m not ready to rest my head yet
Huddle close till you get no air
See the crew down Leicester Square

Night-crawlers morning dew
People watchin’ – is it you?
Jump the bus and fell hoppin’
London Town is still buzzin’
Oh it’s really buzzin’, yeah

London Town is walkin’
I said it’s really talkin’, yeah
Steppin’ in the walk of life
I said, makin’ out the walk of life
London Town I’m stalkin’
I said I’m really walkin’, yeah
(Repeat)

walk me home
i don’t wanna go all the way alone
baby won’t you walk with me home
baby won’t you take my hand
come with me now to a special land
baby won’t you walk with me home
3 A.M.
you’re on my mind once again
i must have been dreaming
thought i felt your heartbeat just then
and i wonder how it would be
i was your lady
and you were my friend


i would put my heart in your hand and it would never end


CHORUS
baby won’t you walk with me home (walk me home)
i don’t wanna go all the way alone (all alone)
baby won’t you walk with me me home
baby won’t you take my hand (take my hand)
come with me now to a special land (ohh)
baby won’t you walk with me home


ohh
la la la la la la la la


i hold your picture
next to my heart all the time
ohh yea baby


you’re my dream come true
so then you’re mine?
and i wonder how it would be
if i was your lady
and you were my friend
i would put my heart in your hand
and it would never end


CHORUS


everyday and night i wanna hold you
understand i am going to love you
in my own special way (in my own special way)


CHORUS x2


ohh
won’t you walk with me home?

I remember how rough your hand felt on mine
On my wedding day
And the tears cried on my shoulder
I couldn?t turn away
Well so much has happened to me
That I don?t understand
All I can think of is being five years old following behind you at the beach
Tracing your footprints in the sand
Trying to walk like a man

By Our Lady of the Roses
We lived in the shadow of the elms
I remember ma draggin? me and my sister up the street to the church
Whenever she heard those wedding bells
Well would they ever look so happy again
The handsome groom and his bride
As they stepped into that long black limousine
For their mystery ride
Well tonight you step away from me
And alone at the altar I stand
And as I watch my bride coming down the aisle I pray
For the strength to walk like a man

Well now the years have gone and I?ve grown
From that seed you?ve sown
But I didn?t think there?d be so many steps
I?d have to learn on my own
Well I was young and I didn?t know what to do
When I saw your best steps stolen away from you
Now I?ll do what I can
I?ll walk like a man
And I?ll keep on walkin?

What? You say you’re through with me
I’m not through with you
We’ve had what others might call love
You say it’s over now, what’s done, what’s through?
You can’t stay away, you need me
I need you

When the fire starts the pain’s too much
For your mind
You need attention, what’s good is only mine
I can cure the hunger that burns in your heart
Just come to me
I’ll take you home
We’ll walk in the shadows
By day we’ll live in a dream
We’ll walk in the shadows

You say you don’t feel safe alone tonight
Cause you feel the pressure building in your head
Our secret’s safe for one more night
But when the morning comes remember
I’ll be with you

We’ll walk in the shadows
By day we’ll live in a dream
We’ll walk in the shadows
One day you’ll be with me
If only you believe

My name is Vernon James and I live to the south of town
I work my window watching the women go round and round
Some people come here for love
Some people come for fantasy
When two in the morning comes round
My baby comes around for me

Someone come, come my someone
Take the clouds from my eyes, my one
I know that sometime soon
One day we’ll walk in the sun

I’m taking tickets and watching
the men always looking down
Sometimes I feel like an animal in
the zoo staring out
No one looks me in the eye
They save it for the girls inside
I don’t care much what they see
I know she saves it all for me

Someone come, come my someone
Take the clouds from my eyes, my one
I know that sometime soon
One day we’ll walk in the sun

Some people come here for love
Some come for curiosity
I know there will be a day
I know we’ll figure out a way

Someone come, come my someone
Take the clouds from my eyes, my one
I know that sometime soon
One day we’ll walk in the sun

You have to learn to love my loving
Turn around and say you care
You have to learn to give by giving
Give me a beatnik love affair
We’ll watch the shooting stars go crazy
So what d’ya say, a definite maybe
Should we walk into the wind
Maybe fall when autumn falls
Let’s walk into the wind
You have to learn to touch by touching

Touch me, touch me if you dare
We’ve reached the end of the beginning
In this beatnik love affair
Should we walk into the wind
Maybe fall when autumn falls
Let’s walk into the wind
Before you taste another tear my love
I know a place where rainbows end
The kingdom of the final kiss is but a breath away
Here come those shooting stars again

Should we walk into the wind
Maybe fall when autumn falls
Let’s walk into the wind

Oh how she tried to cut him down to size
Telling dirty lies to his friends
But his own father said give her up, don’t bother
The world isn’t coming to and end, he said…
“Walk like a man, talk like a man my son
No woman’s worth crawling on the earth so walk like a man my son”

Bye baby, I don’t mean maybe
Gonna get along somehow
Soon she’ll be crying on account of all her lying
Oh yeah just look who’s laughing now. He’s gonna…
Walk like a man, fast as he can, walk like a man from you
He’ll tell the world “Forget about it girl, I’d walk like a man from you.”

Oh how she tried to cut him down to size
Telling dirty lies to his friends
But his own father said give her up, don’t bother
The world isn’t coming to and end, he said…
Walk like a man, talk like a man my son
No woman’s worth crawling on the earth so walk like a man my son

All the old paintings on the tomb
They do the sand dance, don’cha know?
If they move too quick (Oh-Way-Oh)
They’re falling down like a domino

And the bazaar man by the Nile
He got the money on a bet
For the crocodiles (Oh-Way-Oh)
They snap their teeth on a cigarette

Foreign types with their hookah pipes sing:
Way-oh-way-oh-way-ooo-aaa-ooo…
Walk like an Egyptian.

The blonde waitresses take their trays
Spin around and they cross the floor.
They’ve got the moves (Oh-Way-Oh)
You drop your drink then they bring you more

All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings (Oh-Way-Oh)
They’re walking like an Egyptian

All the kids in the marketplace say:
Way-oh-way-oh-way-ooo-aaa-ooo…
Walk like an Egyptian.

Line your feet astreet, bend your back,
Shift your arm, then you pull a clock
Like Sergeant O (Oh-Way-Oh)
So strike a pose on a Cadillac

If you want to find all the cops,
They’re hanging out in the donut shop.
They sing and dance (Oh-Way-Oh)
They spin their clock and cruise on down the block

All the Japanese with their Yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
The Chinese know (Oh-Way-Oh)
They walk along like Egyptians

All the cops in the donut shops say:
Way-oh-way-oh-way-ooo-aaa-ooo…
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian

We don’t wear that uniform
paper men from pages torn right off the press it could be Tass
Suits for the regime
The media’s gone and had a baby
Seventh wave another navy
I live in America: gridlock on the street
Tell that girl you like her badge
Tell that man you’re the Nazz
Tell them you’re not the last walking in parade
Dressed to test you up the road
Tighter than the latest clothes
Close the circle walk in row walking in parade
Why don’t you walk like me?
Walk like me?
Walk like me?
Carrying the standard stick and marrying the politik
You won’t know tomorrow what went down today
Look at me I’m in tune references around my room
Just another secret school another cycle going by
You never looked like that
Don’t look like me
Don’t take it back
You never had a name like that never had a color
Walking like a millionaire
walking on imported air
Change the way you comb your hair and watch what you walk under
Why don’t you walk like me?
Walk like me?
Walk like me?
Walk like me?

I know you
I know you doubt what I am saying
You think that I’ve been deceived
To follow after what some call a weak man’s haven
It seems so simple that it’s hard to believe

(chorus)
I can’t understand why you would walk away from love
No I don’t understand why you would walk away from love
Just can’t understand why you would walk away from love
I’ll never understand why you would walk away from love

Maybe I’m right and He’s waiting at the table
Maybe it happened when I saw it was my sin
Maybe He’s waiting for a chance to show you true love
Maybe you’ll never get this chance again

(chorus)

I’m a fool, so are you
I’m a fool, so are you
Maybe you think I’m a fool for what I’m saying
Maybe that’s what I’d like to be
Or maybe you’re a fool to say you’re a wise man
Either way you lose unless you meet with my King

(chorus 2x)
