about
The Laissez Fairs are back again with a new single in advance of their second album, "Target On My Back" (due for a late September, 2017 release). Crown Plaza is a new composition from twelve-string guitarist and keyboard player, Joe Lawless. The other half of The Laissez Fairs, John Fallon, provides the grit with plenty of White Album inspired Gibson SG playing -- along with the drums, bass guitar, and backing vocals. Recorded and mixed at their HQ studio, Lawless Noise and Visions, "Crown Plaza" is perfect for lovers of mid-sixties-tinged psych pop in the vein of The Beatles, The Hollies, The Byrds, and The Rolling Stones.
lyrics
It’s just like I told ya, no one’s trying to fool her, baby.
Right there in front of you.
It’s just like I told ya, she could see with her own two eyes
If she’d open them wide.
She’s saying she can’t believe
It’s a mystery to me, why
She’d go any other way but up
She takes me down, wears the crown, now
It’s just like I told ya, stand back, cool it for awhile.
Have some of this drink.
It’s just like I told ya, no one’s gotta be wrong or right
Once she decides
She’s saying she can’t believe
It’s a mystery to me, why
She’d go any other way but up
She’ll burn the crown plaza down, now
Come on have a little faith
Have a little bit
Life could be so sweet
