ben watt - irene lyrics

[verse 1]
hey irene
remember that club
where you used to sing?
red lampshades
in the booths
men whispering untruths
well, they
tore it down in the spring
and i still remember your voice
i see the band playing
up there on the stand
and all the smoke and the light
the music loud
different faces in the crowd

[bridge]
was it a dream?
i heard that you moved out of range
was it something you’d outgrown?
needed something of your own
i guess, well, everyone’s ent-tled
to a change

[verse 2]
the crowd has grown older too
but some of them
they still want a piece of you
they yearn for some golden age
the time of day
i first heard you from the stage
new years day
the snow is so thick
but everybody came
for the songs that you sang
the whole glittering shebang
oh, i see it all
when i hear your name
last night, i walked there again
the neon city always ageless and unsung
the bars spilled out to the street
the music loud
different faces in the crowd

[chorus]
hey irene
where have you been?
hey irene
oh, you’re a queen
hey irene
oh, where have you been?

[instrumental outro]
