No need to belittle Morrissey in order to praise Hawley’s great talent. Richard’s songcraft owes a debt to Morrissey, the Smiths, which is not to suggest he isn’t original, a product of all kinds of stellar influences.
And the Banksy tribute on the Simpsons . Richard knew it was coming on but his kids didn't. Instant respect from his offspring compared to Banksy film which was met by Meh.
Put me on a deserted island with nothing but music by Richard Hawley and Neil Hannon and a means to listen to them and I will go on to an eventual emaciated but entirely musically fulfilled end.
Wow. This version is outstanding, what a brilliant performance. Have been a Richard Hawley fan ever since hearing Baby You’re My Light on the radio many moons ago and being totally entranced by it (still am), but this song is probably my absolute favourite of his; it’s one of my favourite songs full-stop. This performance just takes it to another level again, what a gorgeous sound.
Dieser Song versetzt jeden in eine längst vergangene Zeit, ich liebe die Musik von Richard Hawley, könnte diese den ganzen Tag hindurch hören. Gedanklich gehe ich zurück in jene Zeit als Roy Orbison ua. Musik gemacht haben auch wenn, ich damals noch gar nicht auf der Welt war.
such poetic true words/lyrics wow richard hawley tonight these streets are ours this is the composition of our lives the words tell you all you need to know melancholy and marvelous ..........still waiting for the day when capitalism is no more as people will have then at last seen through the veil of deception and deceit then indeed these streets will then be truly ours than you so much richard keeping it real dave real music lover
what a brilliant clip - simple,and that is all it needs to be. I can feel the energy and it is like I am there with them. great song, excellent clip. thank you so much
Do you know why you got feelings in your heart' Don't let fear of feeling fool you What you see sets you apart And there's nothing here to bind you It's no way for life to start Do you know that tonight the streets are ours' Tonight the streets are ours These lights in our hearts they tell no lies Those people they got nothing in their souls And they make our TVs blind us From our vision and our goals Oh, the trigger of time it tricks you So you have no way to grow But do you know that tonight the streets are ours' Tonight the streets are ours These lights in our hearts they tell no lies And no one else can haunt me The way that you can haunt me I need to know you want me I couldn't be without you And the light that shines around you No nothing ever mattered more than not doubting That tonight the streets are ours Do you know how to kill loneliness at last' Oh, there's so much there to heal dear And make tear stains of the past But do you know that tonight the streets are ours' Tonight the streets are ours These lights in our street are ours Tonight the streets are ours These lights in our hearts they tell no lies
I thought it was a song from the sixties when I heard it on the Ken Bruce show.thanks to him I have followed your career without fail. You are an inspiration! Thanks for putting this track on you tube.
lovely voice from a lovely man. was a few years above me in firth park school in sheffield and always knew hed do well.his sister rebecca has the same birthday as me and was in some of my classes.
Richard Hawley... what Morrisey wants to be, what a thousand Indie bands strive to be... Hawley is what makes British music unique and amazing....
He auditioned for Morrissey back in 1991 for the Kill Uncle tour.

@@written12 I'm not belittling anyone.They are all really talented.
Cool bro
Both great acts room for both in the music business 😊
“The lights in our hearts tell no lies.” One of the truest, most beautiful lines of popular music ever written.
True
So true x
I've met him a few times and shared a pint and chat. A great guy. A Sheffield lad like me.
Rode my scooter around Baltimore and played this song on an endless loop. I love it.
I would never know this song if it weren't for Banksy. Cheers
Stuart Kennedy right
yeah me too!
And the Banksy tribute on the Simpsons . Richard knew it was coming on but his kids didn't.
Instant respect from his offspring compared to Banksy film which was met by Meh.
F**k Banksy
Some Bourgeois twat just made £14m off one of his pieces of shit.
FUCKED UP WORLD
Played at my wedding. Beautiful.
Was thinking I would do the same if I got married!
I want this to be my first dance!
Well are you guys still together?
Props to Banksy for introducing us to this great song, and this great musician. Yet another thing we've to thank him for.
The same Wanksy whose falling apart picture went from 1m to 16m. Capitalism at its best.
Richard Hawley you're a genius fantastic songs fantastic songwriter.
Morrissey and Roy Orbison had a kid and it's this guy
One of my all time favourite songs.
TOP 10.
Give me that top 10 song... because I wanna listen more good English songs ...
This is the sort of music that deserve's to be played perpetually over the radio and TV advert's
more songs and artists like this please, I have been listening to Hawley for about eight years now, still couldn't find anyone like him
Put me on a deserted island with nothing but music by Richard Hawley and Neil Hannon and a means to listen to them and I will go on to an eventual emaciated but entirely musically fulfilled end.
Good grief this is still so utterly flawlessly beautiful.

Now that's what I call music...Beautiful song beautifully done. I loved it
Excellent song, it feels like the song was written for the current times we are living in.
The Sheffield culture produces this lyrical genius and others, arctics,pulp, etc!
This is an under appreciated classic with a timeless quality. Simply beautiful.
I'm in love with this song. It's the memories of all the records I've ever loved.
Isn't he just the best? I do hope he wins the Brit award this year, he so deserves it.

Do you know why you got feelings in your heart'
Don't let fear of feeling fool you
What you see sets you apart
And there's nothing here to bind you
It's no way for life to start
Do you know that tonight the streets are ours'
Tonight the streets are ours
These lights in our hearts they tell no lies
Those people they got nothing in their souls
And they make our TVs blind us
From our vision and our goals
Oh, the trigger of time it tricks you
So you have no way to grow
But do you know that tonight the streets are ours'
Tonight the streets are ours
These lights in our hearts they tell no lies
And no one else can haunt me
The way that you can haunt me
I need to know you want me
I couldn't be without you
And the light that shines around you
No nothing ever mattered more than not doubting
That tonight the streets are ours
Do you know how to kill loneliness at last'
Oh, there's so much there to heal dear
And make tear stains of the past
But do you know that tonight the streets are ours'
Tonight the streets are ours
These lights in our street are ours
Tonight the streets are ours
These lights in our hearts they tell no lies
