Down on Cyprus Avenue
With a childlike vision leaping into view
Clicking, clacking of the high heeled shoe
Ford and Fitzroy, Madame George

    Totally amazing song written and sung by one of Ireland's best ever artists. I work just a few minutes walk from 'Cyprus Ave' and often walk it.

    Just beautiful. Do you need more words to review/describe such a piece? No, not at all. Beautiful is enough.

    Perfect song. I know there are a few interpretations, I like this one best: You know things are changing...you are moving on...it's time to move forward from wherever you are at. And that does mean losing old friends and old situations, not a happy thought but it is the only way to grow. (I just can't figure out where & why the transvesite comes into play!)

    The genius of the string and horn arrangements by Larry Fallon wonderfully embody the character of madam George without them this would be a lesser work of art, in turn Astral Weeks would be a slighter work because this is the central pillar from which the rest of the songs radiate.
