Birds of Tokyo - 'Smith Street' (Official Video)

Directed, filmed and edited by Kane Hibberd

Lyrics

Today I woke up with holes in my jeans
I’ve been dragging myself through the week
I need an escape
A placed to forget

So take me all the way
To the edge of the night
To Smith Street where things never close

Yeah come along
We ain’t getting any younger now
I’m only going to ask one time
Jump the 86 tonight
Everything will be alright

Let’s go running down Smith Street
Singing whatever we want
Cos it sounds so good
When everyone's in on it
Whoa, so good to be
Yeah, out on Smith Street

The city is calling
Yeah let’s aim for five
Just tell me the second you’re done

We need somewhere
We can get lost in the night
Drink till we all meet the sun

We ain’t getting any younger now
I’m only going to ask one time
Jump the 86 tonight

Let’s go running down Smith Street
Singing whatever we want
Cos it sounds so good
When everyone's in on it
Whoa so good to be
Yeah out on Smith Street

All night running with friends
Who’ve seen everything
Through thick and through thin
Some followed their dreams
Some buried those things
They don’t need anymore

Some try to be ok
When they’re not ok
So we all get round
Carry them on
You will get through this
That is my promise
But you gotta make one hell of a noise

Let’s go running down Smith Street
Singing whatever we want
Cos it sounds so good
When everyone’s in on it
Whoa, so good to be
Yeah, out on Smith Street

Whoa, so good to be
Yeah, out on Smith Street

A few years back, I was on a Qantas flight to Sydney, Australia. I had the pleasure of sitting with the Birds of Tokyo. The Guys won't remember me of course, but I remember them and brag about this continually! Love YOU BIRDS OF TOKYO! Until we meet again! Debra K. Pope, Corpus Christi, TX

"All night running with friends, who've seen everything.
Through thick and through thin.
Some follow their dreams.
Some bury those things, they don't need anymore.
Some try to be okay, when their not okay.
So we all get round, carry them on.
You will get through this, that is my promise,
But you gotta make one helluva noise!"
🙌🤘🖤🥰
