Avenge

This song was written as a nod to a kind of sugar-sweet revenge - as far as I remember I wrote it as just a melody and guitar line, which was quite different to the way that most other Ivy songs were written.

Are you mad she said what goes on inside your head
Have you taken leave of your senses dear
No I answered her I’m not insecure
I read many books and know what to do

4 bars

As you are leaving I look to the sea
You don’t fool me
Yesterdays dreaming of when we were friends
I will avenge

Now it’s gone away facing a better day
Revenge is sweeter when you know what to do
5 years have passed away I saw you today
Now I know I have got my revenge

4 bars

Time passes sweetly without you around
You brought me down
Yesterdays dreaming of when we were friends
I will avenge

Guitar solo – 12 bars

As you are leaving I look to the sea
You don’t fool me
Yesterdays dreaming of when we were friends
I will avenge
