Geezers Need Excitement
The Streets Lyrics

Geezers need excitement
Middle-aged men crave adventure and excitement in their lives.

If their lives don't provide them this, they incite violence
If they don't experience excitement, they may resort to violent behavior.

Common sense, simple common sense
It's common sense that people need fulfillment and stimulation in their lives.

Out the club about three to the takeaway
Leaving the nightclub and heading to a fast-food restaurant.

The shit in a tray merchants
Fast-food vendors who serve food in takeout containers.

Shop's got a special perchant for the disorderly
The restaurant is popular among rowdy patrons.

Geezers looking ordinary and a few looking lairy
Some middle-aged men seem normal, while others seem threatening.

Chips fly round to the sound of the latest chart entry
Fast food is being thrown around while music is blasting in the background.

An incendiary waiting to blast
The situation is escalating, and something explosive could happen.

No harm with a contest, who can throw the furthest
People are engaging in competitions to throw food the farthest distance.

Behind the counter they look nervous
The workers are anxious and uneasy.

But carry on cutting the finest cuts of chicken from the big spinning stick
Despite the chaos, the workers continue to prepare the food.

Then over flies a chip, flips, and hits you on the back
Someone throws a chip, and it hits you in the back.

You spin round on the attack, "Fuck you playing at?"
You turn around quickly and aggressively confront the person who hit you with the chip.

He looks like a Cheshire Cat, almost falls down, your frowns
The other person grins and staggers, while you scowl in anger.

And Superman eye lasers don't even register
You are so angry that not even fictional superhero powers could calm you down.

By now you want to leather this twat
You are so angry that you want to punch this person.

And forever you're going to regret that, your choice of path
You will always regret acting on your impulse and resorting to violence.

So mash his head up and your girl's now fed up
You violently attack the other person, and your girlfriend is now disappointed in you.

But stop to think and it's never going to be
Upon reflection, you realize the consequences of your actions.

The Jackie Chan scene it could have been to end up
Rather than resorting to violence, the situation could have ended in a comical or non-violent manner, like in a Jackie Chan movie.

So you owe someone money subbing skunny
You owe money to someone and are avoiding repayment.

"Best pay me"
The person you owe money to is reminding you to pay them back.

"Billy, No worries, one fifty on Sunday"
You reassure the other person that you will pay them back soon.

But in some way that turns into Wednesday
You end up delaying payment, and it gets pushed back to another day.

Then goes straight to pay on a hazy evening in the local bar café
You eventually pay the other person back while at a bar or cafe, possibly while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

What a way
This is a foolish and reckless way to handle the situation.

Just to recap for those at the back this is everyday tit for tat
This is a common situation involving repayment and debt between acquaintances.

You owe your dealer and can't pay it back fee suddenly he's the baddie
You owe money to your drug dealer, and they become threatening and angry when you can't pay them back.

So you tell your mates you could have him anyway to look geez
You lie to your friends by claiming that you have the ability to fight your dealer to save face and appear tough.

But he's a shady fuck, Beemer 3 Series
Your dealer is a suspicious and dangerous individual who has money and a nice car.

Lock, stock and two fat fucks backing him up
Your dealer has two intimidating accomplices who are loyal to him.

Can't convey enough of his desire for the paper stuff
Your dealer is extremely motivated by money, and this fuels his threatening behavior.

In a blunt fashion Billy's angry with a passion
Your dealer, Billy, is angry and aggressive in his communication about repayment.

So please just accept it ain't happening and go back to your running's
You should accept that you can't pay and focus on your own life to avoid further trouble.

'Cause you might get yourself in trouble one of these days
Continuing to owe money or act recklessly could result in severe consequences.

Get a hold of this bird after pub closin' hours
Attempting to hook up with a woman after the bar closes for the night.

Would your girl like this no, don't think so somehow
Your girlfriend would not approve of your actions.

In the winter showers but she'll never know and your face will never show shit
You engage in sexual activity with the other woman, and your girlfriend won't find out about it.

This is how goes it besides, she was well fit, and who could resist
You justify your behavior by saying that the other woman was attractive and irresistible.

Move up to the next place
Leaving the current location and heading to another bar or club.

Smooth clubs, flex, bass, beats, and your best mates
The next location is an upscale club with good music and your closest friends.

All down, nice sounds, Smirnoff Ice rounds
Everyone is enjoying themselves, drinking Smirnoff Ice and listening to good music.

MC's clowning, rude boys frowning, everything's sweet
The hip-hop artists are performing, and everyone is having a good time, except for a few menacing individuals.

Everything's tucked in and round here we're all downing
Everyone is having a good time and letting loose.

But all of a sudden though just through the smoke
Unexpectedly, something happens, possibly due to drugs or alcohol.

Is your bird laughin' and jokin' with a bloke
Your girlfriend is talking and laughing with another man.

Ain't just that either as she moves closer
The other man and your girlfriend appear to be flirting and getting closer to each other.

In a shape what looks like they're lovers
They are in close proximity and appear to be romantically involved.

He's tonguing her
The other man is kissing your girlfriend.

All rage sweeps up through your torso
You are filled with anger and frustration.

Your more so ready to go over and show him who's man
You are prepared to fight the other man and prove your dominance.

Football fan style, leave it in the can for a while
You show restraint and postpone fighting, like a football fan who leaves their anger in the stadium.

'Cause even as they smile you've still got choices
Although the other man and your girlfriend appear to be enjoying themselves, you have the ability to make a decision.

Don't listen to them voices
Ignore the inner voices that may be urging you to act violently.

And at the end of the day you may just have caused this
Your jealousy and anger could have caused the situation, and you may be to blame if it escalates further.

So leave the forces
Avoid engaging in more violence or acting on your impulses.
