Story Behind The Song

Written in my studio whilst looking for something new.

Song Description

Song is a Mod Rock song to relive the 80's UK Mod scene... The music is upbeat and 'happy' but the lyrics are somewhat ironical about being "happy to be different".

Lyrics

Lonely Avenue - written by Craig J. Coffey (copyright 2011)

Verse 1

We're in a crowd
but there's no-one else around
and yet we never feel alone

We are like diamonds
hidden in the fragile canyons
and blending in with the stones

Chorus

And now we're walking down this lonely avenue
and there is nothing else that we would do
And now we're walking down this lonely avenue
and there is nothing else that we would do ... oh yeah!

Verse 2

We are the strangers
They said "who lost the wager"
to be like all of mankind

We are the wanted
but we'll stand up and be counted
Yes we are different and don't mind

Chorus - as above

Verse 3

We are the readers
wanting their minds to feed us
but they are living in a dream

Chorus - as above
