Artist: Butch Walker Song: "When Canyons Ruled The City" Album: "The Rise And Fall Of Butch Walker And The Let's-Go-Out-Tonites" Capo on 4th fret (3rd fret live) Intro (after bass): x2 Verse: Laurel was a girl I knew, made of dirt and stone Pretty hip in younger years, but now she sits alone With a hundred thousand architectural disasters She calls homes Beverly Glen was pretty, all the rich boys loved her curves She tried to get the credit sometimes More than she deserved Like those cheesy 80's movies, epitomizing all things We'd come to know Chorus: x2 Verse 2: Beachwood was a boheme from the sexy 60's scene Grew up east of west Hollywood and somewhere in between All the madness Laurel puts up with, But somehow always tolerates a scene Nicols, he had a way with the performing arts A&R guys having cookouts on his back with super stars But he had some nasty habits and some potholes to Cover up this drama queen Chorus: x2 Verse 3: Sometimes Beachwood yelled at Laurel over terms of selling out Then Laurel yelled at Beverly for not knowing what life's about With her trust fund friends and family, it felt like an earthquake When she'd shout And Silverlake just stood there, with her nose up in the air Pushing up her horn rimmed glasses saying, "I don't fucking care about the madness all you idiots are buying, Selling and leasing up there" Chorus: x2 San Fernando was a struggling actor who drove a deli truck On the sets of porno movies, he was just trying to make a buck While his pilot was in escrow, he dreamed of Dating Beverly one day Chorus: x12
