Let's Start A Band

Amy MacDonald · Love Love: Uk & European Tour 2010 [2011]

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 a 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?



And how do I know if you're feeling the same as me?

And how do I know that that's the only place you want to be?



Give me a stage and I'll be a 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 a Glastonbury star

The lights are shining, everyone knows who you are

Singing songs about dreams, about hopes, about schemes

Oooh they just came true



And how do I know if you're feeling the same as me?

And how do I know that 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 that that's the only place you want to be?



And if you want it too, then there's nothing left to do

Lets start a band

Lets start a band

Lets start a band

Lets start a band



And if you want it too, then there's nothing left to do

Lets start a band

Lets start a band

Lets start a band

Lets start a band



And if you want it too, then there's nothing left to do

Lets start a band

Lets start a band

Lets start a band

Lets start a band



And if you want it too, then there's nothing left to do
