Macdonald, Amy - 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.

  12. G.... P....

    I just discovered this song and wow it blew me away what a great voice and a great and deep feeling song

  13. M.... ....

    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 it last
    Oh, 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 Stones here I come, watch out everyone, I'm singing
    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
    Oh, 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 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
    Let's start a band
    Let's start a band
    Let's start a band

    And if you want it too, then there's nothing left to do.

  23. y.... ....

    Inspiration seems to be such, cannot or should not be decorated. Only one time in a life. Just as it is, just as it born( not borns).

  24. R.... P....

    This song is above any song EVER. Amy is above any female singer and is not even close. Its a shame shes not known

  25. L.... ....

    Lana del Rey and Amy Macdonald best two singers for me :D headphones on my head, eyes closed and I am in another world. :D

    L.... ....

    We have the same taste. Plus I have 2 other wonderful female singers - Bridgit Mendler and Grace Vanderwaal.

  26. T.... ....

    Its actually not my genre but her first album is one of my all-time-favorites. There are some life situations where i need her music. Thanks for it. Regards from switzerland

  27. R.... P....

    what a great song love it...........

  28. m.... b....

    The song is brillant but this video doesn't fit

  29. P.... L....

  33. f.... ....

    love this song girl keep it up :)

  34. m.... ....

    A bit of a strange video that incorporates males,divas and dogs! All she needs to do is sing, smile, and look pretty. She sells herself, so why bother with the parasites?!

    m.... ....

    +mrmiles2011 It's a fanmade video :)

    m.... ....

    It's not Amy's video!

  35. D.... T....

    This is my favorite song of all time. I get the chills everytime I hear it. Incredibly Inspiring song. The lyrics, her voice, the instruments, ... Masterpiece!!

    D.... T....

    This is Amy's dads ringtone on his phone. I too think it's a masterpiece.

  36. J.... L....

    Lobely song

  37. d.... ....

    WONT PLAY ON ISO BECAUSE OF COPYRIGHT PISH

  38. y.... ....

    Me, 6- 1/2 yrs .. . ho ho . .

  39. S.... D....

    I give you mexican culture. you just put it in your mouth and eat it.

  40. H.... T....

    got overdosed with this song 7years ago , and i still didn't get cured yet

    H.... T....

    +Caitlin Livingston what a beautiful name !!!

    H.... T....

    i dont believe theres a cure

    H.... T....

    Sometimes you will never be cured again..

    H.... T....

    Please don't stop listening to this song. It's a greatest song ever made.

    H.... T....

    @vikas upadhyay 3:16 to end is amazing

  41. t.... t....

    The simplicity of her songs can tricks, it could be taken as a limit instead this is probably what makes the difference in the first album. No presumptions, just feelings, heart and specially truth! They're the ingredients that music needs! CREDITS AMY!!!!

  42. t.... t....

    It's undeniable it has same chords of This Is The Life, that's why at the beginning I didn't give right attention to this song. I was completely wrong, passing the time I can discover that this is a MASTERPIECE and This Is The Life is a nice song but nothing compares at all! She wrote this song when she was nobody and very young, now she can close her concerts with it! WOW! She is a prescient! That's too wonderful! I hope you can understand my english. I'm only a big Amy's italian fan! LUNGA VITA AL ROCK!

    t.... t....

    stop. overthinking. music.

    t.... t....

    @Arran Daniel Why is observing the chord structure of two songs overthinking music?

  43. F.... ....

    O hello 240p

  44. J.... B....

    Et si vous voulez, il n'y a rien d'autre à faire
    Démarrons un groupe de musique
    Démarrons un groupe de musique
    Démarrons un groupe de musique
    Démarrons un groupe de musique

    And if you want it to then there's nothing left to do
    Lets start a band,

  69. C.... ....

    What a voice, Don't know why it sounds so good?

    C.... ....

    Because there is a superb band behind her. And Amy is 1st class song writer to give the band material that they could contribute to and enjoy every single note.

  70. t.... ....

    if she did a song with of monsters and men i would be just so happy

  71. L.... W....

    At some points i actually thought the other bands were singing her song :P

  72. B.... ....

    its that chord progression that people love silly!

  73. A.... S....

    AWESOME.....TOTALLY LOVE HER.......

  74. y.... ....

    I haven't found out any fault or mis-matching from this work/art/multimedia/language.

  75. C.... p....

    @DiegoOw28 es Gwen Stefani

  76. o.... ....

    2:45 onwards....that choir is HEAVENLY - and reminds me a lot of Leonard Cohen's ambiance in his songs......she should compose another song based on that choir......ed
    w w w eddy nu

  77. o.... ....

    @onlinelondon 2:46 the choir........

  78. o.... ....

    Pity that she doesn't extend and sustain the choir; that choir is really beautiful.....ed
    w w w eddy nu

  79. 1.... ....

  80. M.... P....

    Bästa låt jag hört sen 1985!

  81. G.... ....

    excellent video mate!!! i could't find crew for my own band, so i started to do some stuff with myself only (a one man band), if you are interested check it out on my chanell. btw, excellent video once again. it could be official ;)

  82. U.... ....

    different, but still very good.

  83. �.... ....

    我燒起來了

  84. S.... O....

  88. m.... ....

    Please release a full acoustic album.

  89. I.... A....

    A great song and even better video! Clever and gives me constant goosebumps and can't help singing along!

  90. I.... A....

    Great song and even better video! Very clever and gives me constant goosebumps!

  91. H.... ....

    @MCPOWest I couldn't have put it better :) You're totally right. It's making me crazy sometimes when I have to read all this bitching about everything here on Youtube. I think if you don't like a certain artist then don't listen to him/her and don't bitch about him/her all the time. Because everybody likes something else, and everyones opinion should be respected in that matter :)

    H.... ....

    I couldn't say it better. I'll probably copy&paste your wording to bang it to another haters.

  92. H.... ....

    chcesz wpasc pytam sie chcesz wpasc czy nie !? kopal bym cie, mam nadzieje ze wiesz za co ? Macdonald - glupcze obraziles ja i mojego kumpla masz dresow na chacie

  93. A.... G....

    @CleverDjembe so do oasis and they've done OK

  94. A.... G....

    @CleverDjembe only if you play them wrong mate

  95. C.... ....

    @MCPOWest

    Well said.

  96. C.... ....

    @MCPOWest

    She's nothing. She's not talented in any way. ALL HER HITS use the same chord progression.

    C.... ....

    No, you are dumb. You simply say you have no receptors for a beauty. It's your deficiency. I hope you'r better now.

  97. L.... ....

    strasne kraasna....LOVE:-***

  98. o.... ....

    this is my favourite song of amy mocdonald xD THNX
