Amanda Palmer - Massachusetts Avenue Lyrics
Every time I walk along this street, I think of you
And given it's the city's major thoroughfare, I'm screwed
Taking an alternative's a little hard to do
It's the street I live on
There's the crosswalk where a milk truck almost ran me down
The day I finally saw you when you got back into town
I don’t know if you saw me, 'cause I turned so quick around
Hiding into traffic, clearly dying to be found
Do you remember crying in the park and shutting up?
Do you remember running and me trying to catch up?
Do you remember loving me more than I could be loved?
I chased you for so long, and when I caught you, I gave up
After all these years, it just gets worse
Memories so dull and well-rehearsed
Storrow Drive is pretty in the springtime
Storrow Drive is pretty in the fall
You don't have go home in a straight line
You don't have to go back home at all
There's the cemetery where I broke your heart in two
And there's the pair of stones that we had laughed was me and you
I stared at them a long time, and I asked if it was true
If I still really loved you
And they answered
Yes, I do
(I do)
People come and go, but these four lanes will never move
Little peach and exes' Jeeps eventually die, too
Even if the russians came and named it something new
It would always look like Massachusetts Avenue
Storrow Drive is pretty in the springtime
Storrow Drive is pretty in the fall
You don't have go home in a straight line
You don't have to go back home at all
Storrow Drive is pretty in the springtime
Storrow Drive is pretty in the fall
You don't have go home in a straight line
You don't need to be alone at all

Amanda Palmer Massachusetts Avenue Comments
Amanda's music should be in all karaoke outlets in the Philippines. Greetings from our longitudinal island of CEBU!!!
This song is sooooo Good!!!
"You don't have to go in a straight line." Cause you literally can't go in a straight line cause you're on a fucking cowpath. Love ya Boston.
This is one of my favourite songs! Loving it all the time!
A year later and still loving it...
I lov edem feelz
what abt now?
this song.. IS FUCKING AWESOME!!! AFP!!!
This song is SO catchyyy~
does anyone else see the girls tattoo says your mom? lol
I think we can all relate to this song :p
"And don't tell me not to reference my songs within my songs"
-Backstabber
So is this song, "Jeep Song", "Truce", and "Boston" all about the same guy?
I love the nod - I miss Li'l Peach. "Tedeschi" never feels right to say.
I like Truce a lot better, but this is a pretty cool song.
Hmm. I always thought Truce was the definitive sequel to The Jeep Song, but the vibe of this track feels a lot more like a true sequel.
I guess this is a more straightforward reimagining of The Jeep Song, while Truce is a serious take on the aftermath of the same relationship.
So don't tell me not to re-fer-rence my songs with in my songs!!!!
It also references the bed song which this directly follows on the album. "there's the pair stones that we had laughed was me and you."
The ending of the Bed Song is two grave stones side by side. I think it's neat the way Amanda looks back on songs like that.
Can't be GEMA they refuse to load songs AT ALL...GEMA is evil ;)
Love the music <33
The first time I listened to this video I wanted to jump and dance around. So I did.
Haha, I thought the same thing about the Jeepd Song. I was like, oh this has a similar theme to the Jeep Song, and then it was referenced. Hooray for memories!
Sequel to The Jeep Song.
I am so impressed with the variety on this album. Such a range of sounds and emotions. LOVE IT!
6060-842

02138 for life. <3

Dammnit I still have 4 hours before I can go home and pick up my copy of the album. I want it so bad!
