  Artist List   /   Tait   /   Lose This Life


         


03. Electric Avenue

Lose This Life
by Tait



 

Down in the street there is violence
Lots of work to be done
No place to hang out our washing
And I can’t blame it all on the sun

Chorus
Oh no we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
Oh we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher

Workin’ so hard like a soldier
I can’t afford a thing on TV
Deep in my heart I’m a warrior
Can’t get food for the kids

Chorus
(Oh yea)

We’ll bring them love
We’ll bring them hope
We’ll bring them peace out in the streets
And then we’ll take them higher

Who is to blame in one country
Never can get to the one
Dealin’ in multiplication
And they still can’t feed everyone

Oh no we gonna rock

Chorus

We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
Then we’ll take it higher
Oh we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
Everybody yea
Take it to the streets
Give the people hope yea
Everybody yea
Give them love

Behind the Song:
'We’ve been having a blast playing this cover tune live. The original version has a definite reggae flavor but we’ve given it more of a matrix-dance-pop feel. The verses basically talk about suffering and injustice in the world. I’ve added some new words to the chorus to make it more specific about offering the love, hope and peace that this world so desperately needs.' - Michael Tait
