This One’s For The Winos, The Working Girls, The Lovers, and The Crowds Passing By

I duck down in the alley,
Looking for a light,
I’ve got holes in my shoes
So my feet don’t get too tight.
I’ve got a pocket full of nothing,
And a brim full of sky,
To take me through the belly
Of a Saturday night.

I’ve got nowhere that I’ve got to be;
I’m footloose, unaffiliated, feeling fine, and fancy-free
With the winos on the cobblestones,
And the jugglers throwing bones under light.
The streets are gold tonight.

I’ve been across this city,
Under every overpass;
Sat in every open doorway,
Up against the glass;
I’ve seen every kind of face;
And, if you have to ask,
There’s a treasure trove of richness
In the cracks we pass.

I’ve got nowhere that I’ve got to be;
I’m just getting myself out on Cuba Street,
With the working girls, and the weaving crowds,
And the lovers arm and arm, in up tight.
The streets are gold tonight.

Just down past the Hotel Bristol
Somebody’s blowing “Nobody Owns The Moon”;
An old man laughs; a car toots its horn;
This is our town, baby -
This is our town glowing in gold.

I’ve got nowhere that I’ve got to be.
I ain’t thinking of Lorraine, she ain’t thinking about me….aye.

I duck down in the alley,
Looking for a light.
I’ve got holes in my shoes
So my feet don’t get too dry.
I’ve got a pocket full of nothing,
And a hand, a handful of time.

This one’s for the winos, and the working girls,
And the lovers, and the crowds passing by.
The streets are gold tonight.

Stewart Pedley Coromandel, New Zealand

‘Eclectic in style’ is a good way to describe the music of Stewart Pedley. He draws from a wide range of influences - from rock to folk, to New Orleans groove, to blues and punk and jazz - and has thrown them together to form a distinctive voice in songwriting. Front and centre of his music, always, is an attention to lyrics and a knack for good storytelling. ... more
