Where the Streets Have No Name (I Can't Take My Eyes Off You)

About Where the Streets Have No Name (I Can't Take My Eyes Off You)

"Where the Streets Have No Name (I Can't Take My Eyes off You)" is a song by English synthpop duo Pet Shop Boys. The song is a medley of covers of U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name" and "Can't Take My Eyes Off You", the 1960s single by Frankie Valli, though in an arrangement informed by the 1982 disco version of the song by Boystown Gang rather than the original. The song accompanied "How Can You Expect to Be Taken Seriously?", the third single from their 1990 album, Behaviour, as a double A-side in the UK (both singles were released separately in the US). Released in March 1991, this song was the band's fifteenth consecutive Top 20 hit in the UK, peaking at No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart. The band have said that they thought the guitars in the original sounded similar to a sequencer. more »

I want to run
I want to hide
I want to break down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name
I want to feel
The sun on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear
Without a trace
I want to take shelter
From poisoned rain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
Where the streets have no name
I can't take my eyes off of you
I love you baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you baby
To warm my lonely nights
So let me love you baby
Let me love you
The city's a flood
Our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
It's all I can do
Where the streets have no name
I can't take my eyes off of you
Love you baby
Let me love you
Where the streets have no name
