Very rough demo for an acoustic song that's been lying around for years waiting for me to finish it:
https://soundcloud.com/alanstarkie/back-street-kids/s-f4iew'Backstreet Kids'
Backstreet kids don't know the good from the bad
They think they're happy when they're sad
But they know life
Backstreet kids don't know the days of the week
Just wondering what there is to eat
When they get home
A row of terraced houses fills up the grey sky
And dirty kids with trousers reaching for waist high
And all the mothers sit
And wonder what becomes of the kids
CHORUS
The innocence of the child soon becomes apparent
In the eyes of the ones that love them
Left to find their way
Into another day
SOLO
CHORUS
When they get home
When they get home
Thanks.
