Mink DeVille - Lilly's Daddy's Cadillac (Live) (1985) • TopPop

Опубликовано 13 февраля 2022, 17:00

Mink DeVille (1974–1986) was a rock band known for its association with early punk rock bands at New York's CBGB nightclub and for being a showcase for the music of Willy DeVille. The band recorded six albums in the years 1977 to 1985. Except for frontman Willy DeVille, the original members of the band played only on the first two albums (Cabretta and Return to Magenta). For the remaining albums and for tours, Willy DeVille assembled musicians to play under the name Mink DeVille. After 1985, when Willy DeVille began recording and touring under his own name, his backup bands were sometimes called "The Mink DeVille Band," an allusion to the earlier Mink DeVille.

This live concert was filmed by TROS tv program Formula 1 in concert on February 08, 1985

Lyrics;
Lilly was standing on the corner
She waited there in front of the store
She waited there for an hour or two
Who knows, she maybe waited more
But nobody showed
So Lilly, she decided she go
And she rides tonight
In Lilly's Daddy's Cadillac

Lilly's man's name is Dan
He works in the back of a dirty book stand
His best friends know his mind
But nobody knows his plans
And nobody else
Knows what Danny boy got to sell
Lord, he rides tonight
In Lilly's Daddy's Cadillac

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
There was whispering in the dark
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Yes, you're gonna get hurt someday
Well, it's not so hard to understand
It's the same old story
About supply and demand
He tried to go straight
He tried hard to learn
How you gonna do
When people beg to be burnt

Now there was whispering about a meeting
But who they gonna meet this time
I heard someone got greedy, Lord
Pulled out a pistol
Said, "Lilly and Danny baby
It's the end of your line"
You know the shots rang clear
But no one was able to hear
Lord, they died that night
In Lilly's Daddy's Cadillac

(Willy DeVille)
