(marr, sumner and bartos)
can we meet on the street
maybe tomorrow
see the world at our feet
naked and hollow
i’ll lead the climb, crystal and fine
for you to see
with every step that i take
every rule that you make
stay with me in this foreign land
just long enough for me
to make you understand
you could be my guiding light
the darkest of them all
you’d be the rise before my fall
and yet we both get along fine
better than most, some of the time
when i’m with you i am on fire
you are the fuel and my desire
can we meet on the street
maybe tomorrow
see the world at our feet
naked and hollow
i’ll lead the climb, crystal and fine
for you to see
with every step that i take
every rule that you make
why do you bring what i can’t possess?
you always ask for more
until there’s nothing left
these hollow words make a wrong arrest
they beat upon my door
a spirit haunts for evermore
but still i hope and sometimes i pray
it won’t be hard, we’ll find a way
colour my dream, show me i’m real
turn on the light then let me feel
can we meet on the street
maybe tomorrow
see the world at our feet
naked and hollow
i’ll lead the climb, crystal and fine
for you to see
with every step that i take
every rule that you make
can we meet on the street
maybe tomorrow
see the world at our feet
naked and hollow
i’ll lead the climb, crystal and fine
for you to see
with every step that i take
every rule that you make

raise the pressure
for you
get the message: the best of
johnny marr has said that he was striving for an ennio morricone feel to the guitar solo on this sunny, upbeat song, issued as the second single from raise the pressure. although a song like second nature might have been a more representative choice to complement the first single forbidden city, it did reach a respectable number 16 in the uk, backed by all that i need and i feel alright. oddly, the single mix is longer than the album version; the promo edit is perhaps the best one overall. their most feelgood track.
