Gonna write it in an alley

Got to write a classic
Got to write it in an attic

An addict for your love
Got to write it in an attic

Later in 00s I downloaded it from a Napster and since then I'm an addict of its terrific melody and lyrics and every evening I sing it as a lullaby to my little grandson. Thank you Adrian Gurwitz for this gem.
