22 acacia avenue

• iron maiden'in number of the beast albumunun 4. sarkisi. bir fahiseyi anlatir. guzel sarkidir. sozleri:
  
  if you’re feeling down depressed and lonely,
  i know a place where we can go.
  22 acacia avenue, meet a lady we all 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.
  
  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.
  
  charlotte isn’t it time you stopped all this mad life.
  don’t you ever think about the bad times.
  why do you have to live this way.
  do you enjoy the lay or is it the pay.
  
  sometimes when you’re strolling down the avenue,
  the way you walk, it makes men think
  of having you.
  when you’re walking down the street,
  everybody stops and turns to stare, at you.
  
  22, the avenue, that’s the place where we all go.
  you will find it’s warm inside,
  the red light’s burning bright tonight.
  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.
  
  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.

• insanlık tarihinin en guzel heavy metal albümlerinden birinde (bkz: the number of the beast) yer alan, insanlık tarihinin en guzel heavy metal parçalarından biridir. özellikle vokalin bitiminden sonraki enstrumantal bölümde basta steve harris olmak uzere tum grup elemanları oyle bi cosar ki kendilerine tapmamak elde değildir.
• şarkının "she’ll teach you more than you can know" kısmından sonra eksik kalmış sözleri şöyledir:
  
  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 fourty
  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
  
  22, the avenue that's the place where we all go
  you will find it's warm inside the red light's burning bright tonight
