Our perspective on boy bands and bubblegum pop.

Go Boy - The Luxury Stars

One of the first songs we actually completed as The Luxury Stars, officially was on the EP. Early versions we shared online also went under the name "All She Wants" as we hit some random copyright issues uploading it with the Lionel Richie name. Go figure.

Here are the full lyrics:


1980, I'm just a second grader
is she's gonna dig my valentine
thought just maybe
she'd think Darth Vader was cool
the caption read "You make me want to leave the dark side"

but she don't want me
she says romance is number one on the Top 40
Casey Kasem, can't you give me a sign
and for the first time

it's complicated
I underestimated
say you, say me

all she wants from me is a Lionel Richie love song
all she wants from me is just a Lionel Richie love song

ice, ice baby is cranking down the hallway
next to the girlie with the mall hair
thought just maybe, she'd let me take her to prom
I wrote a power ballad just to show I really care

but she don't want me
I'm Guns 'n Roses and she's Milli and Vanilli
I can't take it, can't get her out of my mind
and for the first time

it's complicated
I underestimated
say you, say me

all she wants from me is a Lionel Richie love song
all she wants from me is just a Lionel Richie love song

I wrote it for he
she didn't like it
I rhymed all the words
she didn't get it

so complicated
so underestimated
say you, say me

all she wants from me is a Lionel Richie love song
all she wants from me is just a Lionel Richie love song 
all she wants from me is a Lionel Richie love song
she's a lady times three, she's a Lionel Richie love song

Lionel Richie - The Luxury Stars

Our disdain for talk shows, brought to life in sonic beatifulness. Or something like that.

This was the second recorded version after some personnel changes.

The song has also been known as "Jenny" in earlier iterations.

Freak Show - The Luxury Stars

Never - The Luxury Stars

I wrote the lyrics on a flight back from Kansas City to Nashville (yup, you guessed it - flight #1510.) 

This is the original recorded version - a bit more dirty/edged then the second version we recorded later.

1510 - The Luxury Stars

I'll admit I ripped off Wes Cunningham just a bit on this song... but not too much. This was always one of my fave songs to play live.

Downtown - The Luxury Stars

The keys/bells gave this song its name. Also a lot of fun to play.
