Lachey, Nick - Streets Of Philadelphia Lyrics






I was bruised and battered, I couldn't tell what I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
I saw my reflection in a window, I didn't know my own face
Oh brother are you gonna leave me wasting away
On the Streets of Philadelphia

I walked the avenue, 'til my legs felt like stone
I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone
At night I could hear the blood in my veins
Just as black and whispering as the rain
On the Streets of Philadelphia

Ain't no angel gonna greet me
It's just you and I my friend
My clothes don't fit me no more
I walked a thousand miles
Just to slip this skin

The night has fallen, I'm lying awake
I can feel myself fading away
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss
Or will we leave each other alone like this
On the Streets of Philadelphia

    @Nury Mas Sorry, but my English is not rather good to understand "your pic but here, you never know, YOU KNOW". I suppose it's an expression, but I don't know what it means.

    N.... M....

    @Gil BAXTER No problem Gil ! lol. I meant that here (on YT) you can see everything: girls with a boy in their pics (maybe their boyfriends) and viceversa. Same with the nicknames...

    N.... M....

    According to my friend Elsa who is in Philly right now: " William Penn named the city after greek words philos (love) and adelphos (brother). So the city’s name is actually said to translate to“The city of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection." - Bless you all.

    Z.... W....

    Many words of Spanish and English languages have greek roots. PHILOSOPHY (Filosofía en español) means for example LOVE TO KNOWLEDGEMENT. Greetings from Argentina ! :)

  39. H.... H....

    My Cod wasnt crumbed nor battered, I couldn't tell what I smelt.
    This classic fish was unrecognizable on the shelf.
    Put the dish, on a window and i went to get a plate.
    Oh brother are you gonna change this Cod for steak ?
    in the Eats of Philadelphia.

    I walked to the butcher, bought lamb on the bone,
    read the recipies of friends, dinner and lunch,
    At night I perfected the finest fish in the range,
    It was just as crispy as dried wholegrain,
    in the Eats of Philadelphia.

  40. K.... Z....

    I'm so in love with this song...so much heart
    everytime i'm overwhelmed by feelings of loneliness and melancholy
    bruce captured so much in this beautiful, haunting song
    the saddnes, loneliness, hurt of an aching heart
    powerful song and when you listen to the lyrics
    it's really a poem for the ages

    M.... d....

    Mariska delaere - you’re so right. Took the words right out of my mouth.. be safe and happy 😊

  48. 2.... ....

    Am i the only one that rewinds it back to the beginning @ 2:50 ???

  49. G.... B....

    Bruce WINS Oscar for this!!!

  50. M.... D....

    Grande artista!

  51. E.... H....

    he belongs to American land

  52. �.... ....

    I wish the world was as safe & carefree as it was when this legend sang this song! Gives me goosebumps every time! Thanks for the memories Bruce xxx

    �.... ....

    ωillσωs it wasn’t safe or carefree. It never was, that’s what most of these songs are about. But there was always hope and community that brought people together. Things never really change. Bad men still try to run the world, while good people stand together and see it through and persevere

    �.... ....

    The 80's were safer and more carefree in the Suburbs. Not so safe for inner city and minorities. This song reminds me of Detroit.

  53. G.... B....

    I wake up and go to sleep humming this sh*t

  54. M.... d....

    Volta um passado lindo maravilhosooo

  55. R.... M....

    This song is to short

  60. A.... C....

    mi cancion favorita me encanta esta cancion desde que era un chamo

  61. c.... ....

    south park ruined this song for me lmao

  62. R.... S....

    Philly is a tough town. But there is unity and love. Not everyone can see it but its there. Lived in the city for 7 years after going to temple. Song can be interpreted in so many ways which makes it amazing.

  63. J.... K....

    Always humble Springsteen

  64. m.... ....

    Full-blown Aids is no joke. My friends has HIV. He lost 11 kg in 2 weeks all because he can't stop tampering.

  65. T.... F....

    Kd os brs?

  66. A.... V....

    I can easily imagine 16000 souls not liking this song, but for the life of me I can't understand what possessed them to waste their time to click on the clip just to dislike it, as if this here is the first time they hear it.

  67. k.... t....

    0% hooker, nudity, sexual references
    100% Philadelphia

  68. A.... S....

    16 mil deslikes pra este clássico, devem ser surdos, cegos e analfabetos funcionais, gente de mal gosto .

  69. D.... d....

  70. b.... T....

    i love this song ! Big up!

  71. S.... P....

    Gu uuuuuuu aa.uu animal de música Qué onda las calles de filadelfia 👍💪

  72. K.... B....

    The world would need to wake up, so.many people are dying on our streets due to neglect, drugs or whatever the reason, society has got so selfish that we don't care for anyone, anyone reading this if you can find a space in your heart for the homeless and have a spare pound or dollar, or maybe a place that someone can spend a bit of time out of the cold, offer it to them, make them feel they are not worthless, they have a reason to be here like the rest of us , good night, God bless 🙏

  73. B.... ....

    No roads, no teachers, more military

  74. T.... L....

    I miss the 90s...

  75. H.... ....

    cuando el mundo le pida perdón a Dios ya es tarde

  77. S.... C....

    When God rain through my soul
    I was a beautiful boy looking into the world
    I was here right now looking down upon life...
    I found myself that man who became hem self...
    I saw myself in a world that does not love the beauty..
    Love is beauty that lives in a world that only you believe in...
    All of everything that is in your soul will fly through the soul that
    FINDS ITS WAY THROUGH THE NETTLES TO FIND THE LIGHT INSIDE

  78. R.... K....

    I was just a little girl when I heard this song on the radio, and still I like this song words, melody, vocal... This one of the saddest songs, but I really love this song.

    R.... K....

    It's a beautiful song/soundtrack 😉

  79. J.... V....

    Tom Hanks is my favorite american actor. Friendly from France

  80. J.... V....

    Very very sad. But such a beautiful song. The BOSS is singing so well ! I'm crying...👍😰😰😢♥️❣

  81. V.... D....

    I was 11 and this was the first song I heard Mr Springsteen sing. I fell in love with his voice... 24 years later I still love his voice. I know it's a sad song but that voice melts my heart.

  82. M.... H....

  89. V.... M....

  90. C.... S....

    This is a metaphor for so much more than just aids. No one deserves the suffering this world hands out like candy. If only all of us could see each other, really see the humanity in one another.

    C.... S....

  91. A.... ....

    I recognize myself threw him, feeling the same way from time to time, walking walking, same rythm for hours when i was younger. I'm still feeling like this way today from time to time, but i don't walk anymore. I go out and wait.
