Dan Lyons

Dan Lyons is a Margate based musician and songwriter. Through vivid imagery rarely seen in song, he can tell stories in earnest. Musical influences range from The Go Betweens to Radiohead all the way to Leonard Cohen and Serge Gainsbourg whilst his work remains something only Dan Lyons, with his unique worldview and experience could produce. ‘‘If music was scholarly then Dan would hail from that of Bob Dylan and Lou Reed. His lyrics are commanding, both piquant and hard-hitting. In another life, he’d find himself living amongst the Beatniks of New York’s Greenwich Village or living rent-free as a poet in Paris’ Shakespeare & Co.” - Clash Magazine

The rain outside hasn’t touched the sides of my little red machine
I see you baby, I hear you cry, I’m never coming clean 
So sing a song or six for me, do you know what I mean?
I am the king of rock and roll, won’t you be my queen?

Well honey come on, and break down with me again 
Maybe babe, you just need your friends 
Well honey come on, and break down with me again 
Maybe babe, you just need your friends

The rain outside has crushed the sides of my little green machine 
You wanted something I couldn’t give and now I’m on my knees 
And your head’s on a hospital bed and I’m on trial 
Just in case, haven’t you heard, I’m a living breathing child

Well honey come on, and break down with me again 
Maybe babe, you just need your friends 
Well baby come on, and break down with me again 
Maybe babe, you just need your …

Ba-ba-ba-ba

Baby come on, and break down with me again 
Maybe babe, you just need your friends
