about

Crown Plaza is a 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 -- along with the drums, bass guitar, and backing vocals. Recorded and mixed at Lawless Noise and Visions, "Crown Plaza" is perfect for lovers of 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
