Iron Maiden - 22 Acacia Avenue Lyrics






[the continuing saga of Charlotte the Harlot]

If you're feeling down depressed and lonely
I know a place where we can go
22 Acacia Avenue meet a lady that I know
So if you're looking for a good time
And you're prepared to pay the price
Fifteen quid is all she asks for
Everybody's got their vice

If you're waiting for a long time for the rest to do their piece
You can tell her that you know me and you might even get it free
So any time you're down the East End don't you hesitate to go
You can take my honest word for it she'll teach you more than you can know

Charlotte can't you get out from all of this madness
Can't you see it only brings you sadness
When you entertain your men don't you know the risk of getting disease

Some day when you're reaching the age of forty
I bet you'll regret the days when you were laying
Nobody then will want to know
You won't have any beautiful wares to show any more

22 the avenue that's the place where we all go
You will find it's warm inside the red light's burning bright tonight

Charlotte isn't it time you stopped this mad life
Don't you ever think about the bad times
Why do you have to live this way
Do you enjoy your lay or is it the pay

Sometimes when you're strolling down the avenue
The way you walk it makes men think of having you
When you're walking down the street
Everybody stops and turns to stare at you

22 the avenue that's the place where we all go
You will find it's warm inside the red light's burning bright tonight

Beat her mistreat her do anything that you please
Bite her excite her make her get down on her knees
Abuse her misuse her she can take all that you've got
Caress her molest her she always does what you want

You're running away don't you know what you're doing
Can't you see it'll lead you to ruin
Charlotte you've taken your life and you've thrown it away
You believe that because what you're earning
Your life's good don't you know that you're hurting
All the people that love you don't cast them aside
All the men that are constantly drooling
It's no life for you stop all that screwing
You're packing your bags and you're coming with me

    305 arseholes I hope i never meet

  2. D.... M....

    What is in 22 acacia avenue

  3. V.... M....

    This song is so underrated! One of the best bass lines I've ever listened to.

  4. N.... w....

    The best metal singer in the peak of his power.

  5. C.... ....

    5:58 Harris is going mad :)

  6. d.... l....

    2023????

  7. R.... M....

    Still my Fav👺

  8. D.... C....

    I never knew a song could kick as much ass as Hallowed be Thy Name, until I heard the continuing saga of Charlotte the Harlot. If Steve didn't kill his bass, he crushed the fuckin' shit out of it on the ending solo. Up the fuckin' irons forever!

  9. D.... L....

    This bad ass fucking song was wriiten by adrian smith vefore he joined iron maiden. In case it hasn't been mentioned

  10. A.... V....

    Que pezado de batería es Clive Burr que gran trabajo en todo el LP

    A.... V....

    Pero de lo más brutal que parió el metal

  11. m.... v....

    One the best songs and underrated ever. Is very heavy and very metal. Greatness.

  12. S.... H....

    This is good but the Live after death version is so much better.

  13. X.... 1....

    I would classify The Number of The Beast in 11th place of my top 50 greatest albums of all time

  14. a.... a....

    A chinga como llegue aquí 😐😐

  15. m.... 1....

    the goose bumps are from 6:19 to the closing tune at 6:25...tears

  16. m.... 1....

    this is a song and tune packed with feelings, a wake-up call to a remaining hope that it is not too late to change, performed expertly by no other than Maiden

  17. S.... B....

    😊😆Heart Metal what did you do in MusiKasun😀 Sounds!!
    FUNtaSTiKOOL...

  18. A.... Z....

    3:49 For the pussy eating guitar solo.

  19. V.... f....

    Clive Burr really is the unsung here of Iron Maiden - his drumming set a standard.

  20. J.... J....

    El sonido de Metallica es una copia descarada de iron maiden ☹️

  21. K.... D....

    Mindless song!

  22. K.... D....

    Guitar is somehow insane and Clive Burr's absolutely best work is this album!

  23. S.... E....

    La calle 22 de Bogotá

  24. K.... D....

    Famous so good and evil, i love this album, because this is evil and satanic good, because it fight againt good vs evil also, but i like metal what is enough evil and satanic but some satan worshipping is stupid and laughable and sick also.

  25. K.... D....

    Such a masterpiece and cult classic and legendary today, althought not many admit that fact only, picture is cult picture and most knowing Iron maiden album picture.

  26. K.... D....

    I never get tired in this song and album, gets actually even better what more this get old, kicks so much fucking ass as can be in this age!

  27. G.... ....

    The Cart & Horses pub in Leytonstone (East London), the birth place of Iron Maiden, and Charlotte!

  28. r.... ....

    Underrated as hell

  29. t.... w....

    Happy Friday guys, can we enjoy the music now ?

  30. S.... B....

    2:27 is soooo good, Bruce's singing the refrain and the rest is already playing the main riff, sounds amazing

  31. P.... G....

    _Cadê os br??😃❤👏_

  32. J.... b....

    🤘😀🤘

  33. M.... K....

    I remember my stereo catching fire (shorted amp) to this song in '88, while this song was playing. Just seemed so serendipic, I've been a Maiden fan since. BTW, if you're OK with cheesy, FUCKING INCREDIBLE live! Find me one person who wants a ticket refund...

  34. M.... H....

    # my ex wife

  35. B.... V....

    37 years old song...what a music! MAIDEN!

  36. t.... w....

    Sometimes you're in a mood that can only be described by a Iron Maiden song

  37. C.... L....

    Meet a lady that I know oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhhh!

  38. f.... r....

    ❤️❤️❤️❤️

  39. N.... N....

    22 ACACIA Ave is everywhere UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

  40. N.... M....

    Nobody like Iron Maiden anymore, unfortunately. It's worrisome being a musician hearing this shit they call music nowadays, fuck sake?!! It would seem that unless you're already established like Maiden, etc, etc, or you're a woman such as Taylor Swift, or a certain "type", you're fucked whether you've got talent playing an instrument, singing, whatever. It's sad, the shape music is in today. It's bullshit really.

  41. L.... H....

    It is a good song.

  42. V.... M....

    Whatta solo

  43. A.... S....

    👍👍👍

  44. W.... H....

    No guts no glory

  45. S.... H....

    Great song. I remember the Bananaman cartoon as a kid. He resided at 22 Arcacia Avenue. Coincidence, I'm sure......

  46. B.... H....

    Bass is unbelievable

  47. A.... S....

    👍👍👍

  48. l.... p....

    15 quids is all she asks for

  49. f.... ....

    Long live escorts ! They suck our cocks !!🤘🏻🤘🏻😛😛

  50. P.... C....

    That solo@3:47 is transcendental

  51. J.... N....

    Nazareth Telegrap :)

  52. e.... r....

    Esse som é super foda...

  53. I.... G....

    I am not british I am barely American but without showing off I know almost every song by heart...i can't believe a decade & half have passed .i was born 1995 I was 10 when I started listening to this band..i mean I know & sing all their lyrics from iron maiden to the final frontier

  54. A.... W....

    3:50 this part has been in my head all week and I only just remembered where I heard it from. So catchy and melodic. Up The Irons!

  55. y.... r....

    😘😘😘😘😘

  56. B.... Z....

    Hookers are expensive nowadays

  57. S.... B....

    3:49 ... you're welcome...Adrian Smith is a guitar GOD

  58. A.... ....

    Just for the hell of it, I typed 22 Acacia Ave into map quest on my phone just to see if there is one and to my surprise, there is. It’s 70 miles from where I live in In Sacramento and it’s in Oroville California. Me and by buddy are going to ride our motorcycles up there this summer on an Iron Maiden ride!!🤘🏻 l might even smoke a bowl while I’m there.

  59. K.... E....

    дрогераши масни

  60. k.... ....

    maiden rules

  61. Y.... H....

    Tuka sum.

  62. J.... P....

    EL MEJOR INTRO DE MAIDEN!!! ESOS RIFFS!!!!

  63. L.... C....

    meat a lady, dead i know

  64. i.... ....

    the reason why this song rules is because the performances from all band members are phenomenal...... but the "man of the match" on this song is pretty much Steve Harris...... one bassline groovier than other

  65. T.... ....

    I love how loud the bass is at the end without overpowering the guitar. \m/

  66. c.... R....

    Kings of metal......😎

  67. c.... ....

    te amoooo

    c.... ....

    amor esta era

  68. J.... M....

    e.... s....

    Maiden is in my top five for sure. Especially their first three albums.

  71. P.... D....

    Up the irons! Cliff Burr’s drumming is such a driving force.

  72. t.... ....

    I've noticed # Beast is falling out of favor a bit in favor of Powerslave, Piece. I'm finally warming ot those with all their deep cuts, but # Beast is heavier I think. It will always be my fave maiden album. I never tire.

    t.... ....

    Fuck yeah nature girl.
