Let’s Start a Band Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Put a ribbon 'round my neck and call me a libertine
I will sing you songs of dreams I used to dream
I will sail away on seas of silver and gold
Until I reach my home
Give me a guitar and I'll be your troubadour
Your strolling minstrel, 12th century door to door
I don't know anymore, if that feeling is past will it last
Oh, how can you be sure?

[Pre-Chorus]
And how do I know if you're feeling the same as me?
And how do I know if that's the only place you want to be?

[Verse 2]
Give me a stage and I'll be your rock and roll queen
Your 20th century cover of a magazine
Rolling Stone here I come, watch out everyone
I'm singing, I'm singing my song
Give me a festival and I'll be your Glastonbury star
The lights are shining everyone knows who you are
Singing songs about dreams about hopes about schemes
Ooohhh, they just came true

[Pre-Chrous]
And how do I know if you're feeling the same as me?
And how do I know if that's the only place you want to be?
And how do I know if you're feeling the same as me?
And how do I know if that's the only place you want to be?
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, whoa
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
You want it too
Then there's nothing left to do
Let's start a band, let's start a band
Let's start a band, let's start a band
And if you want it too
Then there's nothing left to do
Let's start a band, let's start a band
Let's start a band, let's start a band
And if you want it too
Then there's nothing left to do
Let's start a band, let's start a band
Let's start a band, let's start a band

[Outro]
C'mon, c'mon!
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
And if you want it too
Then there's nothing left
To do

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
