about

Nick Lowe teams up with his masked musician friends Los Straitjackets to record a forgotten gem of the '60s: "A Quiet Place," originally recorded by Garnet Mimms & the Enchanters. Even when Nick performs a cover, his crooning voice and the fierce musicianship of Los Straitjackets turns an old favorite into something completely new.

lyrics

Lady, lady, lady, why do you holler?
Nobody’s seen your Johnny Dollar

I can't get no sleep in this noisy street
I've got to move
I've got to find a quiet place

There's a man next door with a radio
And he plays it all through the night
There's a couple in the apartment above my head
They do nothing but fuss and fight

I can't get no sleep in this noisy street
I've got to move (I've got to move)
I've got to find some quiet
I can't get no sleep in this noisy street
I've got to move (I've got to move)
I've got to find a quiet place
Find a quiet place

But tell me, where do you go when you got no dough?
There must be a way outta here
I've got to find some peace of mind
There must be a place that I can find

Lady, lady, lady, why do you holler?
Nobody’s seen your Johnny Dollar

There's a cat that gets under my window
And meows all the time
There's a drunk that wakes me in the middle of the night
Singing “Sweet Caroline”

I can't get no sleep in this noisy street
I've got to move (I've got to move)
I've got to find some quiet
I can't get no sleep in this noisy street
I've got to move (I've got to move)
I've got to find a quiet place
Find a quiet place
Find a quiet place
Find a quiet place

I can't get no sleep
In this noisy street
I've got to move

about

Nick Lowe London, UK

Nick Lowe has made his mark as a producer (Elvis Costello-Graham Parker-Pretenders-The Damned), songwriter of at least three songs you know by heart, short-lived career as a pop star, and a lengthy term as a musicians’ musician. But in his current ‘second act’ as a silver-haired, tender-hearted but sharp-tongued singer-songwriter, he has no equal. ... more
