Magenta Boulevard from Footprint by Robin Tymm

We stayed down in a cheap room
On Magenta Boulevard
Me and John drank whiskey
And we talked about guitars
We sat above the street
And watched the women and the cars
We spent our time on Magenta Boulevard

Pretending we were rock stars
Was a game we’d always play
“We’re here to make an album”
If someone asked, that’s what we’d say
There’s a party in our hotel room
And a world tour starting someday soon
We sure hope you’ll all turn out when we pass through

BRIDGE
They didn’t seem to like having us around
‘Cause we drank too much and we sang too loud
Always sometimes, rarely never
Something funny happens when we get together

INSTRUMENTAL

Now I don’t see John much these days
Guess that’s the way things are
He’s somewhere north, I’m somewhere south
‘Though it’s really not that far
He's at the other end of my telephone
I can call him up when I get back home
And we can meet down on Magenta
Meet down on Magenta
Meet down on Magenta Boulevard
