On the Avenue

制作人 : Clive Langer/Alan Winstanley

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
