On The Corner Of Harold And Alice

[Intro] [acoustic guitar strumming, light percussion] [clean electric guitar lead melody enters] [Verse 1] [acoustic guitar, bass, and light drums] Harold and Alice, the asphalt ends Where the gravel bites and the alley bends Behind the billboards away from the street A decrepit heart with a rhythmic beat Victorian bones in a commercial cage Victorian bones in a commercial cage A hidden sanctuary of a forgotten stage [Chorus] [full band enters, driving rhythm] Oh, on the corner of Harold and Alice A poor man's dream in a handmade palace Everybody loved the guys on the corner Post-punk kings and the midnight mourners A hidden gem where the world felt right Under the hum of the alley light Under the hum of the alley light [Verse 2] [acoustic guitar and bass continue] Second-hand sofas and coffee stains Dusty guitars and the sound of the trains Grateful Dead tapes and the grunge rock fuzz Nobody cared who the world thought we was Silent and hungover when the sun came through Electric nights when the sun came through Electric nights in a house built for two hundred Built for two hundred [Chorus] [full band, energetic feel] Oh, on the corner of Harold and Alice A poor man's dream in a handmade palace Everybody loved the guys on the corner Post-punk kings and the midnight mourners A hidden gem where the world felt right Under the hum of the alley light Under the hum of the alley light [Bridge] [drums drop to half-time feel] Live music shaking the loose window panes Nobody leaves while the spirit remains We were messy, we were alive [vocal build-up] [Outro] [full intensity] In that decrepit shack we learned to thrive Everybody loved the guys on the corner On the corner of Harold and Alice Yeah, they loved the guys They loved the guys [acoustic guitar strumming fades out]
