Neptune Ave. - Sammy


Ok, I know I skipped a few here but what can I say? Life is bananas. 

These guys are great - I saw them in Spain in 1996. Geffen won't allow embedding of their video for this song so here's the link: Neptune Ave. This album is called "Tales of Great Neck Glory". This held great sentimental value to me. I grew up spending my Summer's there. 

I wish that I knew ya,
That you weren't made up 
Hear the fog in your voice 
See the way that you strut 
Down Neptune Ave. 
Show me around, tell me a story 
'cause I'm a history hound

Yeah, I wish that I knew ya
Not a sketch in my book 
See the lines on your face
Your hard boiled look 
Down Neptune Ave. 
Yeah, show me around
Tell me a story 
'cause I'm a history hound 

Become more than a character on the page 
Description and dialogue that I saved 
oh-ho

I wish you were real 
I wish you could talk 
I wish you could feel 
I wish you could walk me 
down Neptune Ave. 
Show me the town 
Tell every story to this history hound 

Whatever happened to you on this beach?
Whatever happened to you in that bar?
Whatever happened to you on this street?
Whatever happened to your old guitar? 
Whatever happened to you on this ride?
Whatever happened to you in that club?
How did life ever take such a slide?
Where you learned to be someone no good? 

How do, how do you do?
How do, how do you do?
How do, how do you do?
I'd say how do, it's nice to meet you. 

How do, how do you do?
How do, how do you do?
How do, how do you do?
How do, yeah it's nice to meet you. 

How do, how do you do?
How do, how do you do?
How do, how do you do?
How do, yeah it's nice to meet you.
