LOVE STREET

"She lives on Love Street
Lingers long on Love Street
She has a house and garden
I would like to see what happens

She has robes and she has monkeys
Lazy diamond studded flunkies
She has wisdom and knows what to do
She has me and she has you

She has wisdom and knows what to do
She has me and she has you

I see you live on Love Street
There's this store where the creatures meet
I wonder what they do in there
Summer Sunday and a year
I guess I like it fine, so far

She lives on Love Street
Lingers long on Love Street
She has a house and garden
I would like to see what happens

La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la..." ~ THE DOORS




...LOVE STREET is a 1968 song by The Doors which appears on their album Waiting For The Sun. The song is about the street in Laurel Canyon, California, where Jim Morrison lived with his " La belle amour" Pamela Courson. Their address was 8021 Rothdell Trail. Morrison and Courson referred to Rothdell Trail as "Love Street" because they would sit on the balcony and watch countless hippies walk by. Morrison also wrote the "Waiting For The Sun" album here, and most of "Soft Parade", along with countless poems. Love Street was originally a poem that Jim wrote for Pam about their time in the house on Love Street. Robby Krieger suggested it be a song, and put music to it. The poem turned into the gem of a song we all know as Love Street.

Released as the B-side of "Hello, I Love You", "Love Street" received a small amount of airplay on the radio.
