Loveless Avenue

Doo wop inspired

Doo wops n' shoo bops
On Loveless Avenue
Trumpet players swinging
Their Sunday tunes
They got the shiniest shoes
You ever did see
Tappin out stoop dreams
For the passers by
For all those someday girls
Who become oneday pearls
The city makes you dirty
But you can feel real pretty
When he's holding you tight
Your fortune just walked on by
Always something to do
On Loveless Avenue.

I want to be on loveless avenue, where dreams don't come true. But we don't care. We just wanna be there.

[Island Hippy]

Mahalo for your great comment Paul :) really appreciate it.

This is awesome Izzy! It's so easy to get blinded by the lights of the city and it's devilish offerings. There's always something around the corner ready to entice us. This has soul and depth to dive into. Your opening line is great. Nice work:)

[Island Hippy]

[duff]

[Island Hippy]

Aww you're too cool my ohana. Mahalo much for comment xo

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Wow! What a sense of fruitlessness you give in this one Izzy. I guess sometimes. especially in the city, people are mesmerised by all the glitz and promises. Well portrayed.

Aloha my friend, the city can be a dark seduction for some. Mahalo for your time, you're much appreciated
