Spacehog – 2Nd Avenue lyrics

(Royston Langdon and N. Chassler)

Flute by Michael Quingheenan
Additional vocals by Valerie Wilsion

*2nd Avenue in East Village, NY was once the home for the four band members, before "hitting it big" in the music world. To this day, they are still amazed at how far they've come, and take a look back in this song.*

She came from money
He called her honey
Her family makes wine
He's robbing her blind
When I see her and you on 2nd Avenue
Well, it makes me want to spew
So I ran away from you

I want to live on 2nd Avenue
I want her love on 2nd Avenue
Don't let her buy you 2nd Avenue
It's my street too

Now that you are married
Living on the Isle of Capri
You eat paté all day
Go for a swim in the bay
Still can't stand to see you in a magazine
With your blue blood clan
And all your fans

I want to live on 2nd Avenue
I want her love on 2nd Avenue
Don't let her buy you 2nd Avenue
It's my street too

What a girl to do that
2nd Avenue
It's my only road, my 2nd Avenue

I want to live on 2nd Avenue
I want her love on 2nd Avenue
I want to run on 2nd Avenue
I want to spew on 2nd Avenue
I want to walk on 2nd Avenue
I want her child on 2nd Avenue
Don't let her buy you 2nd Avenue
It's my street too
