Let's Start A Band Lyrics
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 is last
How can you be sure
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?
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 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
ooooh, they just came true.
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 if you want it to then there's nothing left to do
Lets start a band, lets start a band, lets start a band, lets start a band.
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.
Your strolling minstrel 12th century door to door
I don’t know anymore, if that feeling is past will is last
How can you be sure
And how do I know if that's the only place you want to be?
Your 20th century cover of a magazine
rolling stone here I come, watch out everyone I’m singing my song.
The lights are shining everyone knows who you are
singing songs about dreams about hopes about schemes
ooooh, they just came true.
And how do I know if that's the only place you want to be?
Lets start a band, lets start a band, lets start a band, lets start a band.

Face value meaning: Starting a Band
'Deeper meaning': Sharing a partnership with someone you care about, whether it be in a band, a friendship, a relationship, or marriage. It is about sharing an intense bond with another and the anxieties that go along with. It is about giving up the self for the sake of the whole that could be.
That ultimately you just got to go for it the more you think the more you doubt and question: "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 if you want it too, then there's nothing left to do, Let's start a band"
The last lines can make me cry sometimes, I don't know why, its not a particularly amazing song.
