On The Avenue lyrics


Words and music by Roddy Frame

Everybody s walking through the city all alone
But no one talks about it
I am just a simple, unassuming kind of man
So neither do I
But I walk like the rest and try to do my best
Til I m beaten, til I m blue
And it shines like the sun inside of everyone
Like the neon that I see in the rain
On the avenue

Everybody s dreaming bout a city in the sky
Where we can live without love
I am just a simple, unassuming kind of guy
So so do I
But to feed you from a shell, fill you up and wish you
Well.
That s my reason, it s what I do
And it shines in the guise of Egyptian sparkling eyes
In the basement of a hotel
Paradise
On the avenue

And if the hotel burns down
We d probably drown neath the firemens hoses
Holy Moses!
I would still believe that paradise
Was there with you
Never blue
Stuck like glue
On the avenue
