Stan Ridgway - Garage band '69 lyrics

rate me

In an old garage

Rain is comin' down

Half a block away

You can hear that sound

Powered up by love

And electricity

Makin' lots of noise

And feelin' free

Got a brand new amp

A speaker with a tear

Shock ourselves on wires

Make believe that we don't care

I call this a song

Because I say it is

This one's about Cleopatra

Or maybe Nick or Liz

Chorus:

You play the drums today

I'll play guitar

We're gonna be in a famous band

We're gonna go real far

So pass over that bottle o' wine

We'll smoke all the cigarettes

Is that a car in the driveway?

We have not finished yet

I heard an old man next door

I think we killed 'im with our sound

I saw the body in the ambulance

Maybe we should turn it down

So everybody back off one notch

And close that door on down

Chorus repeat jam on last line until, well, until you stop
