Lyrics
If you're feeling down depressed
and lonely I know a place where
we can go, 22 Acacia Avenue,
meet a lady that I know.
So if you're looking for a good time
and you're prepared to pay the price.
Fifteen quid is all she asks for,
everybody's got their vice.
If you're waiting for a long time
for the rest to do their piece,
you can tell her that you know me
and you might even get it free.
So any time you're down the
East End, don't you hesitate to go.
You can take my honest word for it,
she'll teach you more than you can know.
Charlotte can't you get out
from all this madness?
Can't you see it only brings
you sadness?
When you entertain your men don't
you know the risk of getting disease?
Some day when you’re
reach the age of forty,
I bet you'll regret the days
when you were laying.
Nobody then will want to know,
you won't have any beautiful
wares to show anymore.
22, the Avenue,
that’s the place where we all go.
You will find it’s warm inside,
the red light's burning bright tonight.
Charlotte, isn't it time
you stopped this mad life,
don't you ever think about
the bad times?
Why do you have to live this way,
do you enjoy your lay, or is it the pay?
Sometimes when your
strolling down the avenue,
the way you walk it make
men think of having you.
When you're walking down the street
everybody stops and turns to stare at you.
22, the Avenue,
that’s the place where we all go.
You will find it’s warm inside,
the red light's burning bright tonight.
Beat her, mistreat her,
do anything that you please.
Bite her, excite her, make her
get down on her knees.
Abuse her, misuse her,
she can take all that you've got
Caress her, molest her,
she always does what you want.
You're running away,
don't you know what you're doing?
Can't you see it'll lead you to ruin?
Charlotte, you've taken your life
and you've thrown it away.
You believe that because what
you're earning, your life's good,
don't you know that it's hurting
all the people that love you?
Don't cast them aside!
All the men that
are constantly drooling,
it's no life for you,
stop all that screwing.
You're packing your bags,
you're coming with me!
and lonely I know a place where
we can go, 22 Acacia Avenue,
meet a lady that I know.
So if you're looking for a good time
and you're prepared to pay the price.
Fifteen quid is all she asks for,
everybody's got their vice.
If you're waiting for a long time
for the rest to do their piece,
