Samuel’s Musicians Of The Week
July 16th, 2006 at 11:48pm
This week the award goes to the first Australian band to reach gold record status in the US…I am of course referring to the Little River Band. Unfortunately choosing just one feature song proved to be an almost impossible task…and with so many songs to choose from I could easily just do a text dump of the lyrics of each and every one of their songs, but in the end I did manage to limit myself to one song…don’t be surprised if the Little River Band return here in a couple weeks with another feature song though!
The feature song this time is “The Night Owls”…sounds like a good description of my radio listening habits actually!
There’s a bar right across the street
He’s got a need he just can’t beat
Out on the floor, he shuffles his feet away
He’ll get the girl ’cause he looks so fine
He’s gonna win her every time
He knows he will, he’s dressed to kill
He’s a night owlMove on
there’s a heart of a night owl callin’
To belong
she’s cryin’ in the night
Be strong
and find the heart of the night owl fallin’
Stay up till dawn
until the night is goneWhat will become of the restless kind
Where do they go when they’ve done their time
Wearin’ their hearts out on the line
for all to see
Must be the gypsy in their soul
They have a need to rock and roll
They always will
they’re out there still
They’re the night owlsMove on
there’s a heart of a night owl callin’
To belong
she’s cryin in the night
Be strong
and find the heart of the night owl fallin’
Stay up till dawn
until the night has goneThere’s a bar right across the street
He’s got a need he just can’t beat
Out on the floor he shuffles his feet away yeah yeah
He’ll get the girl ’cause he looks so fine
He’s gonna win her every time
He knows he will, he’s out there still
He’s a night owlMove on
there’s a heart of a night owl callin’
To belong
she’s cryin’ in the night the night goes on and on
Be strong
find the heart of the night owl fallin’
Stay up till dawn until the night has gone
