The 8th track on The Strypes' 2015 sophomore album Little Victories, “Three Streets And A Villiage Green” is about the stress and homelessness you feel while travelling the world as a member of a rock band.
[Verse 1]
Check me and check my hype
My time is overdue
Life's just a sleepless night
Of getting into you
Your hands are outta sight
So get em out of view
Oh I'd love to get a light
And spark it up in you
[Pre-Chorus]
Ahhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhh
Ahhhhhh
Ahhhhhh
[Chorus]
'Cos I'm just a simple
Boy on the scene
Trying to avoid
The Ego machine
Chewing gum tastes like girls to me
And life's three streets and a village green
[Verse 2]
Check me and check my game
I'm the one you need to know
Mop top with a hand of God
Baby, call me Diego
She thinks I should love again
'Cos love'll make me grow
But love's just a synonym
For messing with the show
[Pre-Chorus]
Ahhhhhh
Ahhhhhh
Ahhhhhh
Ahhhhhh
[Chorus]
'Cos I'm just a simple boy
On the scene
Trying to avoid
The Ego machine
Chewing gum tastes like girls to me
And life's three streets and a village green
[Bridge]
You're living life to excess, dear
Always in your Sunday best gear
Are you enjoying success, dear?
Actually I'm a bloody mess, dear
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
'Cos I'm just a simple boy
On the scene
Trying to avoid
The Ego machine
Chewing gum tastes like girls to me
Life's three streets and a village green
[Outro]
Village greeeeeen
