Cochrane, Tom - Avenue A Lyrics
You want to be an actress
And step down on the stage
You are going to the school juliard
To learn how to strut so high and proud
Make me stand up and notice
I believe in you
And I believe you'll have it made
I cut out my heart
And nail it away
Save it for your summer holiday
You'll forget about me
When your name is on the marquee
And the rich boys come out to play
Upon Avenue "A"
You've got your reasons
I'll nail your cards and letter on the wall
To remind me that you are still out there
Because I won't know the girl on the screen at all
Cut out my heart
And nail it away
And save it for your summer holiday
You'll forget about me
When your name is on the marquee
Cut out my heart
And nail it away
And save it for your summer holiday
Teach them how to laugh and feel
When they put you to the test
For there is something special in you
That you must express
Don't forget about me
When your name is on the marquee
And the rich men come to stay
Up on Avenue "A"
Up on Avenue "A"

Cochrane, Tom Avenue A Comments
Timeless. I like Mr. Charin.
Amazing ballad what a debut
think you got the only only one
you got your reasons and i got mine
Makes me cry every time I hear it.
I love love songs and ballads. This one is the only one which makes me tear up.
For my daughter.

By far, an incredible song.
Damn!!! Now this is good music..... Tommy had it going on!! So many great RedRider songs...
One of my favourite Red Rider tunes, and yes the Symphony Sessions version is even better. I have purchased Symphony Sessions on CD 3 times, worn out once, thought it was lost the 2nd time. Sure wish I could've been there for the concert. Does anyone know if there is any video footage of the 1st or 2nd Symphony Sessions?
He made his best music with Red Rider. His solo stuff I can't really listen to.
I agree. Much better with RR.
I always wonder if there was a lot to read on the packaging of the album (vynil)
wow, what memories
Thanks ian..for your reply it was greatly appreciated have a wonderful day and try not to use your head as a clay pigeon today
cant think of a mature or organized reply
fuck you, mate
@Dangurt Yes very nice song for sure.
I was enjoying this song so much I bit my tongue on accident!
To this day, Tom Cochrane still sings this during his live performances. Timeless music!
I have the CD. And I was there back on the second night back in 1989 at the Jubilee Auditorium. A Friday night and it was excellent show and venue. Sweet memories.
I had it on vinyl

An album called "Tom Cochrane & Red Rider The Symphony Sessions" with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. Quite rare. Best version of this song and many other Red Rider greats in my opinion.
Just discovered this band with What Have You Got To Do minutes ago. Really great band !!
anyone have a "live" version of this ??
Check out the live show with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra.
THNX SO MUCH FOR THE UPLOAD! favourite red rider song!!
@trask12 one of many many many great tom cochrane tunes!!!
The band played this classic when I saw them at a local fair in September. Long live Red Rider!
@Dangurt
Bless you and Darcy, for having good taste, and just because.
You are not afraid - I believe you'll have it made!
This song was featured in the movie made about Terry Fox a few years back. It was the part of the Movie where Terry and a young bald kid with cancer go swimming together. A tear jerker but the song is very fitting for that scene.
Kimbo I couldn't agree with you more! Some of the best music.
I loved being a teenager in the 80'S. Good memories.
by far the best red rider song
One of my fav's of all time, thanks Tom
Very nice. I love the symphony sessions version, where it's a bit more stripped down.
This is a great song. Reminds me of my teenage years.
