On The Street Where You Live (Jeremy Brett) - STING 21311   (Paul Bristow)  

 

(Opener and Closer): circle left

I have often walked – down this street before
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before

LEFT ALLEMANDE your Corner go - come on home a DO SA DO – MEN STAR LEFT one time and go

You TURN YOUR PARTNER RIGHT go LEFT ALLEMANDE - come back and PROMENADE that lady ‘round the land
All at once am I several stories high
Knowing I'm on the street where you live


 

(Figure): HEADS PASS THE OCEAN then RECYCLE – DOUBLE PASS THRU and CLOVERLEAF

CENTRES SWING THRU and then you TURN THRU – PASS THE OCEAN then RECYCLE once again

REVERSE THE FLUTTERWHEEL – take your Corner’s hand – PROMENADE your lady walk around the land

1) Does enchantment pour out of ev'ry door?

 - No, it's just on the street where you live

 

2 & 4) All at once am I several stories high

 - Knowing I'm on the street where you live

 

3) Let the time go by, I won't care if I
 - Can be here on the street where you live

 

 

 

(Middle Break): circle left

Are there lilac trees – in the heart of town?

Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?

LEFT ALLEMANDE your Corner – come home a DO SA DO – MEN STAR LEFT one time and go

 You TURN YOUR PARTNER RIGHT – you gonna go LEFT ALLEMANDE

Come back and PROMENADE around the land
Does enchantment pour out of ev'ry door?

No, it's just on the street where you live

 

(Fourth Figure): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE

And oh!  The towering feeling
Just to know somehow you are near
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear!

Well now the SIDES SQUARE THRU – go FOUR hands ‘round

SWING your corner – PROMENADE her now

All at once am I several stories high

 - Knowing I'm on the street where you live

 

 

(Closer): circle left

People stop and stare – they don't bother me
For there's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be

LEFT ALLEMANDE the Corner - come home a DO SA DO – MEN STAR LEFT one time and go

TURN YOUR PARTNER RIGHT you’re gonna go LEFT ALLEMANDE - come back and PROMENADE around the land
Let the time go by, I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live

 


(Tag): Swing your girl
Can be here - - - on the street - - - where you live

 

 

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

 

I have often walked down this street before;
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before.
All at once am I Several stories high.
Knowing I'm on the street where you live


Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour Out of ev'ry door?
No, it's just on the street where you live!


People stop and stare. They don't bother me.
For there's no where else on earth that I would rather be.
Let the time go by, I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live.


And oh! The towering feeling
Just to know somehow you are near.
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear!
