What If Lyrics

dateline the early 1970's
now world famous rock quartet
the doors, lead singer james morrison
has recently died
while down but certainly not out
the surviving members desparetly
tried to piece together their broken lives
every option was considered, a new name
the windows, the walls, even the door knobs
ultimately, the band opted to carry on
under the original doors name
auditioning new singers.
one young hopeful, a struggling art
student from athens georgia,
fred schnider, who went on to front
the hugely successful b-52's tried
out for this position
the lyrical style of the young schnider more known for his quick wit and
imprompto jams was hard fought
to match the well structured
melodies of the classic doors numbers.
let's listen in...
love me 2 times
love me 3 times
i've got me a car
it seats about 20
so hurry up and bring
your juke box money
gloria
gloria
you're livin in your own private idaho
livin in your own private idaho
this is the end
this is the end
wammy kiss me wammy hug
revitalize me give me wammy love yea!
light my fire
we couldn't get much hire
he was in a jam
he's in a giant clam
