Electric Avenue 2001 lyrics by Eddie Grant

ELECTRIC AVENUE - EDDY GRANT

Intro
Hoi, hoi, hoi, hoi!

1. Strophe
Now in the streets there is violence,
and-na-na lots of work to be done.
No place to hang all our washing,
and then I can't blame it all on the sun.

1. Refrain
Oh no, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue,
and then we'll take it higher.
Oh, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue,
and then we'll take it higher.

2. Strophe
Working so hard like a soldier, can't afford a thing on TV.
Deep in my heart I abhor you, can't get food for the kid.

2. Refrain
Good God, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue,
and then we'll take it higher.
Oh, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue,
and then we'll take it higher.

Bridge 1
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no.

3. Refrain
Oh Lord, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue,
and then we'll take it higher.
Oh, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue,
and then we'll take it higher.

Bridge 2
Hoi, hoi, hoi, hoi!
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no.

4. Refrain
Oh Lord, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue,
and then we'll take it higher.
Oh, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue,
and then we'll take it higher.
