CHARLIE ROBISON » Sunset Boulevard Lyrics

Well, I wish I had my picture on the Rolling stone today

I wish that the Enquirer spread a rumor that I was gay

I wish I had some buddies, some movie stars and such

Cause I probably wouldn't worry about the two of us as much

 

And I'd spend all my money on caviar and cocaine

And I would not remember how you broke my heart today

 

You know I, I wish I had a super model so skinny and so wild

And a waitress in Nevada, she says she's carrying my child

I'd drive down Sunset Boulevard, my hair blowin' in the wind

I'd stop at fancy restaurants and they'd finally let me in

 

And I'd spend all my money on caviar and cocaine

And I would not remember how you broke my heart today

 

Yeah, I wish I had my picture with the Rolling Stones today

And I wish the enquirer would spread a rumor that I was gay

I wish I knew a movie star, someone like Charlie Sheen

'Cause if he'd hang out with Kato Kaelin

Well I guess he'd hang out with me

 

And I'd spend all my money on caviar and rogaine

And I would not remember how you broke my heart today

Earthquake in New York City

The Chrysler Building fell in my yard

But when the shit hits the fan

You know I've got to make my way back to

Sunset Boulevard

 

Cruising down a mountain freeway

And someone cut the brakes to my car

But when the shit hits the fan

You know I've got to make my way back to

Sunset Boulevard

 

The IRA has just hit London

They blew up half of Scotland Yard

But when the shit hits the fan

You know I've got to get my ass back to...

I have been looking for the band that sings it and the lyrics to this song about jimi hendrix...none of the others here are it, I remember the verse says something about "jimi plays his worn out guitar" It also says something like "he never knew the change he made...four thousand people stood and prayed".... (the song is a male lead with an accoustic guitar)

 

Anyway, the main chorus says something like "down on sunset boulevard...we gonna leave it all behind."

 

If anybody knows who sings this song please post. I hear this at work all the time, but I do not know what the title is or who sings it and it is driving me crazy.

The only good thing about Sunset Boulevard is where it ends at the PCH. Decent place to surf and good eats at Gladstones.

I found it! It is by Scott Grimes and the song is called sunset boulevard. The reason I could not find it was because there are so many songs by so many artists are by that same name.

 

Here is a video of it if anybody wants to see it:

I had to wait a while, don't know why. Of course, it opens ad windows behind itself.

JH,never heard anybody do that other then Eric Burdon.

Mick Jagger did, when he wrote "Me and Mr. Jimmie down to the corner drug store to get a soda,my favorite cherry red." Was said to be talking about Jimmie Hendrix. Contained within "You Can't Always Get What You Want" Also mentioned in a tune by the Atlanta Rhythm Section called HOMESICK, later covered VERY well by Travis Tritt. Also I think within Monterey by the Animals.

Waz up wid dat?

 

It's JIMI!!!!!! :D

Well ok, I guess the secret is out, regular guitar players spell it Jimi.. SuperSonicWizard guitarslingers spell it Jimmie.
Most great guitar players spell their name "Jimmie" , or maybe "Jimmy" . Hendrix is the exception in using "Jimi". ;)

Hey Ellwood, maybe you'd love his playing if he changed his name to "Jimi" Vaughan!

 

Or then again, ahem....er maybe not. :P

WELL I bet ya that would make ALL the difference... NOT!!! But in most circles JV is known as "the greasy,50's retro looking cradle mate of a true guitar genius" Man oh man I wish those would have been my words origianlly! One positive piece of information to be gleaned out of this is that the gene that controls guitar playing genius is not transferable by proximity.
