Danny Michel - Elgin Avenue Lyrics
Well the rain came down on Elgin Ave.And the faces on the bus look sad,as the man with the umbrella hails a cab.And the sky is looking mean and grey,and tomato is the soup today.As the homeless lay out plastic on the ground.She takes this chance to start anew,with a hotel sample free shampoo.And her hair is hold and baby blue.Rain, rain, don't go away.I'm glad you came I hope you stay,and you couldn't have come on a better day.Now the rain floods my flowerbed,and the garbage can with the missing lid.They blame it on those no-good meddling kids.She can't be more than seventeen,and sleeping in a bank machine.And beating up an old tambourine.While the old man strums an old guitar,a silvertone with a whammy bar.As someone shouts insults from their car.Rain, rain, don't go away.I'm glad you came and I hope you stay,and you couldn't of come on a better day.My kitchen window leads to the roof,where nothing's safe or waterproof.And it feels like a giant pirate ship.And the barber sweeps up all the hair,and he falls asleep in his barber's chair.And the smell of disinfectant fills the air.The old man finds a cigarette,by the pharmacy at Somerset.And he's standing there all soaking wet.Rain, rain, don't go away,Im glad you came and I hope you stay.And you couldn' have come on a better day,I couldn't be any wetter.You couldn't have come on a better day.
