Lyrics

Verse 1
Back in my day, you?d never survive
This used to be my Park and I was the bright spark
Back in my time, I used to be some one
But now I am no one, no better than a low down

Bridge
And a ?bird that flies is free
Lives in luxury you will always see

Chorus
Fighting ? In the Backstreets
Killing ? In the Backstreets
Dying ? In the Backstreets
Loving ? In the Backstreets

Verse 2
Back in my time, the girls loved me
They used to stand in line, any one was mine
Back in my time, I was the leader
They respected me, and looked up to me

Bridge
And a ?bird that flies is free
Lives in luxury you will always see

Chorus
Fighting ? In the Backstreets
Killing ? In the Backstreets
Dying ? In the Backstreets
Loving ? In the Backstreets

Lead Break

Chorus
Fighting ? In the Backstreets
Killing ? In the Backstreets
Dying ? In the Backstreets
Loving ? In the Backstreets

Repeat Verse 2
