[GBH - Avenues And Alleyways lyrics]
Sleep like a baby my little lady
Dream 'till the sunrise
Creeps into your eyes
Dream 'till the sunrise turns on the day
In the avenues and alleyways
While you sleep there's a
Whole world coming alive
Abel and his brother, fighting one another
In and out of every dive
The avenues and alleyways
Where the strong and the
Quick alone can survive
Look around the jungle
See the rough and tumble
Listen to a squealer cry
Then a little later, in the morning paper
Read about the way he died wake up my pretty
Go to the city stay through the daytime
Safe in the sunshine
Stay 'till the daytime turns into night
The avenues and alleyways
Where a man's gotta' workout
Which side he's on
Anyway he chooses, chances are he loses
No-one get's to live too long
The avenues and alleyways
Where the soul of a man is easy to buy
Everybody wheelin', everbody dealin'
All of the low are living a high
Every city's got 'em, can we ever stop 'em?
Some of us are gonna try
Dream 'till the sunrise
Creeps into your eyes
Dream 'till the sunrise turns on the day
In the avenues and alleyways
While you sleep there's a
Whole world coming alive
Abel and his brother, fighting one another
In and out of every dive
The avenues and alleyways
Where the strong and the
Quick alone can survive
Look around the jungle
See the rough and tumble
Listen to a squealer cry
Then a little later, in the morning paper
Read about the way he died wake up my pretty
Go to the city stay through the daytime
Safe in the sunshine
Stay 'till the daytime turns into night
The avenues and alleyways
Where a man's gotta' workout
Which side he's on
Anyway he chooses, chances are he loses
No-one get's to live too long
The avenues and alleyways
Where the soul of a man is easy to buy
Everybody wheelin', everbody dealin'
All of the low are living a high
Every city's got 'em, can we ever stop 'em?
Some of us are gonna try
