Down on the Street

If you seek for a deep meaning in the oeuvre of this music team – don’t. Stop it immediately, as this is the 3rd piece from them in the alphabetical order in this collection by now & we haven’t discovered anything even closely reminding the sophisticated state of mind. In this rock song, The Stooges say enormously flat things – a guy is walking down the street, he sees shiny faces & he has a little on his mind. There are some pretty things (but the listener is unaware what those are), a thousand lights shine his way through. He is lost (but without any obvious reason) & we are lost along with the performer.
