22 Acacia Avenue

Iron Maiden

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] Charlotte can’t you get out from all this madness Can’t you see it only brings you sadness When you entertain your men don’t 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 [Chorus] Twenty two the avenue That’s the place where we all go You will find it’s warm inside The red light’s burning bright tonight [Verse 4] 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 your strolling down the avenue The way you walk it make men think of having you When you’re walking down the street Everybody stops and turns to stare at you [Chorus] Twenty two the avenue That’s the place where we all go You will find it’s warm inside The red light’s burning bright tonight [Bridge] 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 [Solo] x5 [Verse 5] 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 [Solo] x6

La chanson évoque la vie difficile d'une femme nommée Charlotte, qui semble se perdre dans une existence marquée par la solitude, les relations superficielles et les dangers qu'elle encoure. On lui propose un refuge à un endroit, mais les paroles soulignent les conséquences tragiques de sa vie, où le plaisir immédiat et l'argent peuvent mener à de lourdes regrets à long terme. Il est question de ses luttes internes et des avertissements d’un ami qui souhaite la sauver de cette spirale destructrice. Dans un contexte plus large, cela reflète des réalités sociales, comme les risques qui entourent certaines professions et la quête désespérée de réconfort. Les références à la vie nocturne et aux choix regrettables mettent en lumière les défis auxquels de nombreuses personnes peuvent être confrontées dans leur quête de dignité et d'amour.
