Songs that evoke the "street" even if they don't have it in the title

I'm thinkin' like the Stones' "Miss You", which of course is set on a street but the whole vibe seems to intend the sound of the "street" (whatever that means). Thanks in advance!

I guess maybe Walk on the Wild Side is similar...

Also on the Stones tip, "Waiting On A Friend."

Yeah, good one...thanks. I'm having trouble thinking of anything but Stones songs...

Lots of reggae, but I can't think of a particular song.

"Joy In Repetition" by Prince.

That elusive North American wood-ape (Capitaine Jay Vee), Thursday, 21 March 2013 04:50 (twelve years ago)

The sun goes down, the night rolls in
You can feel it starting all over again
The moon comes up and the music calls
You're gettin' tired of starin' at the same four walls

You're out of your room and down on the street
Movin' through the crowd and the midnight heat
The traffic crawls, the sirens scream
You look at the faces, it's just like a dream

Nobody knows where you're goin'
Nobody cares where you've been

'Cause you belong to the city
You belong to the night
Livin' in a river of darkness
Beneath the neon lights
You were born in the city
Concrete under your feet

It's in your moves, it's in your blood
You're a man of the street

When you said goodbye, you were on the run
Tryin' to get away from the things you've done
( From: http://www.elyrics.net )
Now you're back again and you're feeling strange
So much has happened but nothing has changed

You still don't know where you're goin'
You're still just a face in the crowd

You belong to the city
You belong to the night
Livin' in a river of darkness
Beneath the neon lights
You were born in the city
Concrete under your feet

It's in your blood, it's in your moves
You're a man of the street

You can feel it, you can taste it
You can see it, you can face it

You can hear it, hey, you're getting near it, hey
You wanna make it, 'cause you can take it

You belong to the city, you belong to the night
You belong to the city, you belong to the night

You belong
You belong
