"Back on the Streets" is a 1976 song by the UK rock group Hawkwind.
The group were due to enter AIR Studios in October to record this song as a stand-alone single release, not to be included on any album.
However, tensions within the band saw founding member and saxophonist Nik Turner and second drummer Alan Powell being expelled before recording began.
The music was written by Paul Rudolph and lyrics by Robert Calvert to the vocal melody of The Supremes' "Back in My Arms Again", and produced by Bob Potter.
The press reviews were mixed, the NME assessing it as "cranked-out basic chords designed to make your eardrums bleed, lyrics that are unintelligible apart from the chanted title-chorus, and the rhythm section playing like they enjoy feeling those blisters squish against their instruments",[2] while others felt "It's all here - a hard-edge riff and plenty of instrumental colour.
