drank in a pub on a saturday night
me and the boys were feeling alright
as we walked the streets feeling loads of pride
proud with our roots and our way of life

then stood some geezers try to steal that night
stare at us try to pick a fight
me and the boys were waiting for the start
as we prepared for an aggro, oh what a night!

thats the story of how our life goes
we had been treated like a bunch of snucked up fools
scorned by many understood by few
theres not much things left for us to do

don't wanna go back to darkdays of mine
where i gone too far i could have killed someone
but i don't wanna give up behaving like a cunt
while watching my mates doing the best they

[chorus]
in the streets of uptown
streets of uptown
its our ups and our downs
and it will go around

in the streets of uptown
streets of uptown
its our laugh and our tears
and it will alsts for years
