Well, I thought I would plunge in with this song that has given me years of trouble (in various senses). It comes from the fact that one day while I was walking in South London, I suddenly found myself on a street called "Recovery Street" (for real).

RECOVERY STREET

I thought it was all one Perfect Promenade, Perfect Promenade, Perfect Promenade,
We'd dance our dreams down Delirious Drive, down Delirious Drive, down Delirious Drive,
And build a home in Perpetual Place, in Perpetual Place, in Perpetual Place.

Till I woke up asleep in Face Down Alley, Face Down Alley, Face Down Alley,
Pulled myself out onto Fall Apart Lane, onto Fall Apart Lane, onto Fall Apart Lane,
Screamed at the cars on Broken Boulevard, Broken Boulevard, Broken Boulevard.

Resolved and resolved on Progress Circle, Progress Circle, Progress Circle
Promised the moon on a Shining Path, on a Shining Path, on a Shining Path
Lost you again in some Trackless Waste, in some Trackless Waste, in some Trackless Waste,
Came to the end at the end of Endless End, of Endless End, of Endless End, of Endless End, of Endless End....

I'll make my way up Effort Avenue, Effort Avenue, Effort Avenue,
And spend my days down in Infant Step Park, down in Infant Step Park, down in Infant Step Park,
And build a home in Recovery Street, in Recovery Street, in Recovery Street

And you'll find me at the end of your road, at the end of your road, at the end of your road,

Again.

I have no idea if the line breaks will work. This song has, more or less, the same chord patterns as "Black is the Colour": Am in each first line with shifts into Dm7 and Em when it all gets too much. The last chord of all is a C.
The problem I have with it is that it is, well, relentless. When I sing it, it just drives from the start to the finish. I keep thinking it needs a break, a two-line chorus, or some kind of verse ending for each verse that repeats, but I can't find a starting point. It somehow feels as if it needs it, though someone I sang it to said that it would lose something if it moved off its structure. So I could be wrong -- it just doesn't feel finished to me. Anybody have any thoughts that might help (there, or anywhere in the song)?

Yours, Peter T.
