Yard Act - You're Gonna Need A Little Music Lyrics

Yard Act Lyrics

"You're Gonna Need A Little Music"

So we, we were on this long drive
This long, long drive
Headed from the Isle of Balamory
To the San Francisco Bay
'Cause when you're
When you're taking people on a ride
Or telling any kind of story
You learn to create tension
By leaning into the cliché and you'd say

Well, what's wrong with a little action?
Ah, I don't think you need to excuse it
And if you wanna lean into the drama of it all
Well, you know you're gonna need

You're gonna need a little music
You're gonna need a little music
You're gonna need a little music

Music blaring from the fried transistor
We stopped off in Little Italy
To pick up your big sister
And the head gasket blew
Out on highway whatever
We ate stale sandwiches
And braved strange weather
Or not, we'd ever make it
All the way to the Bay
We just drove on regardless
As night turned to day
And the day we'd just had
Seemed a lifetime away
From the night yet to come
And the songs they'd play

I'd say, well, what's wrong with a little direction? Ah
I don't think we need to pursue it
And if you want my affection
Well, I'm gonna need

I'm gonna need a little music
You're gonna need a little music
You're gonna need a little music
You're gonna need a little music

Well, we got rid of your sister
We just couldn't do with her
So we gave her the slip
Down by the Mississippi River
And as her image disappeared
From the rear-view mirror
I heard her screaming your name
"Jamie, I'll never forgive you"

Well, we left her water and a Walkman
And I hope she knows how to use it
'Cause when you're out there
On your own in the world
You know you're gonna need

You're gonna need a little music, OK
You wanna make my day?
All you gotta do
Is press play

You're gonna need a little music
You're gonna need a little music
You're gonna need a little music
All this noise, all this noise
You're gonna need a little music
Blaring from the fried transistor
You're gonna need a little music
You're gonna need a little music
You're gonna need a little music

You're gonna need, you're gonna need
You're gonna need, you're gonna need
You're gonna need, you're gonna need
You're gonna need a little music
You're gonna need, you're gonna need
You're gonna need, you're gonna need
You're gonna need, you're gonna need
