------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joey’s On The Street Again - The Boomtown Rats ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Mick 2009 Sooner or later when the dawn was breaking The joint was jumping and the walls were shaking Joey sneaked in the backdoor way Pretending he was with the band he never used to pay He was no great draw at pulling the chicks He used to lie against the wall like he was holding up the bricks And all the things that guy used to do to get his kicks He was a legand in his lifetime with the neighborhood kids They said "joey did this" and "joey did that" Oh that guy was crazy what a crazy cat Then something strange would happen there’s trouble on the way And trouble only means one thing... Joey’s on the street again he’s on the street Joey grew older older without a cause Got married had some kids and had his brushes with the law Settled down and got a job then said "I’m leaving" one day "I’ve gotta hang loose a while take care while I’m away." People said they’d seen him they were nearly always wrong no one knew how much he had where he’d gone or for how long ’Til one day there came a rumor floating from the docks Saying a crazy stranger had been found lying among the rocks They said "joey did this" and "joey did that" Oh that guy was crazy what a crazy cat And no one quite believed it all rumors are the same And now if something happens they say... Joey’s on the street again he’s on the street (Sax Solo) A D x8 X7 A D x6 When joey moved away A lot of the kids said "I can’t stay around here" They said "I’m moving out going away" D They said "I’m leaving D getting out" They said "I’m leaving going away going away going away" They said "I’m leaving I’m leaving I’m leaving I’m leaving" Gonna go somewhere where it doesn’t stink Away from the alleys somewhere I can think Wash the dirt from my hands watch it wash down the sink It’s a strain on the brain living close to the brink Look at the brickwall gravestone where some kid was sprayed Saying nobody could be bothered here to rule o.k Don’t believe it don’t believe it what they say on tv There’s no romance no romance no romance there’s no romance no romance no romance no romance For joey in this city A D x24 to fade Mick 2009

La chanson raconte l'histoire de Joey, un personnage un peu flamboyant et insouciant qui erre dans les rues, toujours à la recherche d'une forme de liberté, malgré les conséquences de sa vie. Il est décrit comme étant à la fois très aimé et admiré par les jeunes du quartier, mais aussi un homme qui a connu ses propres défis, des problèmes avec la loi et des choix de vie discutables. Après avoir tenté de se ranger, il finit par repartir à l'aventure, laissant derrière lui des rumeurs sur ses frasques qui continuent d'alimenter les histoires locales. Le contexte de cette chanson évoque une époque où la vie urbaine est marquée par des tensions sociales et des aspirations à mieux, tandis que des personnages comme Joey incarnent l'esprit rebelle d'une génération. C'est un portrait vibrant des défis de la jeunesse et d'un monde en constante évolution, où le besoin de s'évader et de vivre pleinement reste omniprésent.
