Gary Lewis & The Playboys - Main Street (RARE color clip)

[psychodied]

Thank you for the lyrics, but im trying to pay attention to the vocals, and it seems ( i mean. what i listen ) ..you wrote:

Everything is painted all in gray ( Wouldn't it be: Everything looks painted all in gray ?)

That special place where we used to meet ( Wouldn't it be : That special place we used to meet ), where ( When?) we could (Were? or Would?) be together

It's changed it's not the same ( And Ordinary ?)

Correct me if I'm wrong ... thanks

Street lights just don't shine as bright now, As I walk alone each night now, Everything is painted all in gray;

Window shops all bright in color, Now they all look so much duller. Watching happiness all fade away;

Main Street, it's not the same street , it's just a plain street without you;

Neon signs have lost their glitter, loneliness can taste so bitter, watching couple pass me by each day.

Yeah, you 're right : And it's a very good song too that should have been a big hit ..is the most beautiful example of sunshine pop ...seems Beach boys sounds :)

i wrote this song for Gary Lewis and his recording was by far the best one. But it was recorded by six other artists and none of them were a hit even though it was picked by all the dj's as their pick as the best song of the week on all of the radio stations.

@michaelzstuff That was very interesting information. This should have been a big hit!

This almost sounds like a Brian Wilson composition. Great song!
