lyrics

Sha La La La La


Downtown, there’s a bar
Where I’m used to go
There, all the people are
A part of the show
There’s a girl called Lilly
She’s drunk every night
She’s not what she’d like to be
But I like her inner light

Lilly never met love
Men in her life were a pain
Now she’s a mourning dove
Still waiting for a
Sha la la la la

There’s also a man
Wearing suit and tie
He does what he can
To earn one fucking dime
Not enough to pay
Years of unpaid bill
But he’s allowed to stay
Cause he’s dressed to kill

Here, the dandy tramp
Is talking to a junk
A drag queen and a vamp
All waiting for a
Sha la la la la

But no change is coming in

Standing at the bar
The owner plays the score
On his face, a big scar
He’s a tough guy for sure
He looks old and tired
But if you watch his eyes
You see a teeny light
That goes through the night

And I know what he knows
What kind of man I am
Lost in the shallows
Still waiting for a
Sha la la la la

THE BELMONDOS Paris, France

THE BELMONDOS' third and latest album, Memory Lane, sees them open the memory box.
Since their début in 2007, these wannabe daddy's boys have drawn their musical influences from The Beatles, Kinks, Beach Boys and so many others. THE BELMONDOS take 1960s pop, revamp and modernise it, with vigor and energy.

Memory Lane - Released November, 20. 2020 ... more
