Metropolitan Avenue - Christy Moore

Noel Brazil

First Days in the loft I thought I might live, new faces

New streets.

No cash in the hand was making me thing, what now?

what’s

Next?

That’s not to say I was’nt welcomed I was welcomed I was

Taken in.

I took the bait when I was hunted I was wretched I was

Freezing.

Chorus

Metropolitan ave standing tall in the winter snow, I’ll

Be back with you before I go Don’t run like a dog I know how it feels without heat

Without love.

Ran free in the park like Jekyll and Hyde, me and Pete,

Me and Pete.

Up half the night unwilling witness to some strangers

Feud.

Deep underground I hear the notes of some old gamblers

Blues.

Metropolitan etc

This rose will never blossom now it needs light shining

On it’s back.

This road will never take me out, I’ve been stopped in My tracks.

There goes the night and now the sun begins to filter

Through,

I took the bait when I was hunted I was wretched did’nt

Know that I was failing you

Metropolitan etc
