lyrics

My Favourite Song (c) Darryl John 2015

Verse 1:

Last week we played a gig in Smallville
At the only pub in town
It was as pretty as a picture
People had come from all around
The place was packed to the rafters
Men and women, old and young
They’d all come for a night out
Let their hair down, have some fun

Verse 2:

And so we quickly started playing
All the great songs that we knew
A lot of people were up dancin’
The crowd it just grew and grew
I noticed sitting in the corner
Was a lady dressed in red
And when we took our first break
She called me over and she said

Chorus:

He broke my heart, he broke my mind
Even though I was so strong
I never thought he was that kind.
I stayed with him way too long
And so I’ve come out here tonight
To try to right some wrong
So mister please won’t you please
Play for me my favourite song

Verse 3:

I’m not really sure how it goes
Although it’s got a groovy beat
And though it’s played kind of slow
It always makes me tap my feet
So can you play that song for me
You know I’ve waited all night long
I’ve been sitting here a hopin’
That you’d play my favourite song

Lead break: Same as a verse

Chorus:

He broke my heart, he broke my mind
Even though I was so strong
I never thought he was that kind.
I stayed with him way too long
And so I’ve come out here tonight
To try to right some wrong
So mister please won’t you please
Play for me my favourite song

Verse 4:

And so I walked back to the stage
Her words were ringing in my head
Wondering just what song she meant
I told the boys what she said
And then we recommenced playing
We’d narrowed it down to a few
And when we saw her happily smiling
We’d got it right this we knew

Final Chorus:

He broke her heart, he broke her mind
Even though she was so strong
She never thought he was that kind.
She stayed with him way too long
And so she came out here tonight
To try to right some wrong
And she pleaded with us please
So we played her favourite song
Cos she pleaded with us please
And so we played her favourite song
Said she pleaded with us please
Yes we played her favourite song.
