lyrics

Girl from Vancouver

I’m in love with a girl from Vancouver
Maybe I’ll move there, Maybe I’ll move there.
She’s so sweet, she’s got my heart in a hoover,
Girl from Vancouver, girl from Vancouver.

Ooooh…

She’s got a smile like an upside down rainbow.
Where did my brain go? Where did my brain go?
And how she does it, I just cannot explain though,
smiles like a rainbow, smiles like a rainbow.

Ooooh…

She’s so sweet, like candy from a stranger.
Like a poisonous fruit, so pretty and red
She’s got eyes that radiate the danger.
I’d like to lay her in my lonely bed.

I lie back and think of Vancouver,
Someday I’ll move there, someday I’ll move there.
I think about her, shaking that smooth hair.
Girl from Vancouver, girl from Vancouver.

His voice always seem to strike a chord with his audiences, along with his decadently charming on-stage persona, his concerts at times comprised of stories within stories and songs within songs. ... more
