"A Quiet Place" lyrics

Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets Lyrics

"A Quiet Place"
(originally by Garnet Mimms & The Enchanters)

Lady, lady, lady, why do you holler?
Nobody's seen your Johnny Dollar

I can't get no sleep in this noisy street
I've got to move
I've got to find a quiet place

There's a man next door with a radio
And he plays it all through the night
There's a couple in the apartment above my head
They do nothing but fuss and fight

I can't get no sleep in this noisy street
I've got to move (I've got to move)
I've got to find some quiet
I can't get no sleep in this noisy street
I've got to move (I've got to move)
I've got to find a quiet place
Find a quiet place

But tell me, where do you go when you got no dough?
There must be a way outta here
I've got to find some peace of mind
There must be a place that I can find

Lady, lady, lady, why do you holler?
Nobody's seen your Johnny Dollar

There's a cat that gets under my window
And meows all the time
There's a drunk that wakes me in the middle of the night
Singing "Sweet Caroline"

I can't get no sleep in this noisy street
I've got to move (I've got to move)
I've got to find some quiet
I can't get no sleep in this noisy street
I've got to move (I've got to move)
I've got to find a quiet place
Find a quiet place
Find a quiet place
Find a quiet place

I can't get no sleep
In this noisy street
I've got to move
