Video On The Avenue de Alan Winstanley 2025 Lyrics Lyrics

Alan Winstanley - On The Avenue Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everybody's walkin' through the city all alone
And no one talks about it
I am just a simple, unassumin' kind of man
So neither do I
But I walk like the rest and I try to do my best
Till I'm beaten, till I'm blue
And it shines like the sun inside of everyone
Like the neon that I see
In the rain on the avenue

[Verse 2]
Everybody's dreamin' 'bout a city in the sky
Where we can live without love
I am just a simple, unassumin' 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

[Bridge]
And if the hotel burns down
We'd probably drown 'neath the firemen's hoses
Holy Moses!
[Verse 3]
I would still believe that paradise
Was there with you
Never blue, stuck like glue
On the avenue
