Background Noise - Mike + The Mechanics

These streets

These streets have beats that linger

These trigger fingers seldom caress

The best sound

Comes from nowhere

In These streets

We speak in conversations

Caught up in invitations

And yet

The best sound comes from nowhere

Out of nothing

In the background noise

Comes the world of choice

In the distance a familiar voice

It’s the one, it’s the one

I adore

In the background noise

I can hear you call

With such persistence

That I have to fall

It’s the one, it’s the one

I adore

What gives what takes

I’m always considered a contender

I surrender I surrender

In the background noise

Comes the world of choice

In the distance a familiar voice

It’s the one, it’s the one

I adore

In the background noise

I can hear you call

With such persistence

That I have to fall

It’s the one, it’s the one

I adore

These streets
