Nice job on creating sentiment and a "memory lane" as the singer "grows up". :D

The rape and stabbing line comes across a bit rough in the same lyrics as ice-cream and tree climbing.....maybe something like "You know you shouldn't be walking a lone this late".....and leave it implied what could happen......but it could fit depending the delivery of the lines.

Thanks for sharing.

Danebury Avenue, I never thought
I'd miss you
When I strode with my parents,
An ambush behind every high rise building
On the estate

Danebury Avenue, I never thought
I'd miss you
When I tottered by myself
From bus stops where you'd said “now, don't get raped
Or stabbed” instead of goodnight every time

Danebury Avenue, I never thought
I'd miss you
When Conor strolled into a mob
And you told me about battling fists &
Pickpocket corners

Danebury Avenue, I never thought
I'd miss you

But then I ambled with Becky & Suzanne
There was purple hair on each of our heads
And then, with Becky & Moe & Jamal,
I took a ukulele walk
And my friends and I, we marched down Danebury Avenue
To trees worth climbing, with ice cream cones in our hands

Oh, Danebury Avenue, I miss you.

Ah, yes, if anyone's wondering, Danebury Avenue is the main street in a not very well-off bit just by Roehampton University, South London :wink:

Cheers,
