Lyrics

The Alexanders

With the weekend coming down
We’d head into town
To The Angel on the corner
Leave all your troubles at the door
They don’t matter anymore, somehow

Grab the best seats, get real close
We gotta see all the moves
It’s a joy overdose
Still got the songs from last time
Spinning ‘round my head – and how!

We’d go and see The Alexanders play
At The Angel on Friday night
Singing along as The Alexanders played
It felt so good, it felt so right
And they were
They were great – no doubt about it, yeah
They were great – sing and shout it

The joint was jumping – the joint was insane
How I loved you then, you were my special pain
You knew the words of every song
And you could sing, oh you could sing.

We forged our love in the smoke and the booze
In the words of the songs that we would never lose
Those melodies they never die
They just burn deeper into your heart

We’d go and see The Alexanders play
At The Angel on Friday night
Singing along as The Alexanders played
It felt so good, it felt so right
And they were
They were great – no doubt about it, yeah
They were great – sing and shout it

Last night I went looking for The Angel
Found apartment blocks that reached up to the sky
Gone away – just like the Alexanders
Like you – they faded from my life
Now there ain’t no love in the heart of this city
But there’s one thing I know
If you ever hear this song
Please come and say hello

We’d go and see The Alexanders play
At The Angel on Friday night
Singing along as The Alexanders played
It felt so good, it felt so right
And they were
They were great – no doubt about it, yeah
They were great – sing and shout it, yeah
They were great
They were great
They were great
