Avenue Lyrics

Transcribed by Mark Dorset 

[sample:]

A lemonade.


Oo-oo-ooh, / young heart. / 

Oo-oo-ooh, / young heart. / 

Oo-oo-ooh, / young heart. / 


[Backing throughout the verses:] ba-ba-da ba-da ba-ba-ba-da...


Pass me the suitcase, baby. / I know / it's not that easy and /

give me / my mirror, love, / just give me / back my memories, /

and oh, / oh, how many years / is it now Maurice? /


Oo-oo-ooh, / young heart. / 

Oo-oo-ooh, / young heart. / 

Oo-oo-ooh, / young heart. / 

And, ooh, / oh the clown's no good. 


And I was / half-asleep, and / riding / on a slow-coach, I / 

think I / lose all these things still, / meaning / I'm not holy and, oh, / 

oh, your honey-dish, / oh, it's on my list. / 


Oo-oo-ooh, / young heart. / 

Oo-oo-ooh, / young heart. / 

Oo-oo-ooh, / young heart. / 

And, ooh, / oh the clown's no good. 


Wish my heart's wish / climbing out your window / 

for your savage amusement. / 

You put a spell over me, well, / 

smells like lemon flavour. / 


ba-ba-da ba-da ba-ba-ba-da...


Tuesday, / if I had you back again / you know / I'm against the future. / 

Wednesday, / I was a little girl / (I was the little girl who'd like to snog your face.) / 

and ooh, / oh, how many years / is it now Maurice? /


Oo-oo-ooh, / young heart. / 

Oo-oo-ooh, / young heart. / 

Oo-oo-ooh, / young heart. / 

And, ooh, / oh the clown's no good. 


Oo-oo-ooh, / young heart. / 

Oo-oo-ooh, / young heart. / 

Oo-oo-ooh, / young heart. / 

Oo-oo-ooh, / young heart. / 

Oo-oo-ooh, / young heart. / 

Oo-oo-ooh, / young heart. / 

And, ooh, / oh the clown's no good. 

And, ooh, / oh the clown's no good. 

And, ooh, / oh the clown's no good. 

And, ooh, / oh the clown's no good. 

And, ooh, / oh the clown's no good. 

And, ooh, / oh the clown's no good. 

(And then I shall go back to Maurice.) / 

And, ooh, / oh the clown's no good.
