Dave Matthews Band, sometimes shortened to DMB, is a U.S. rock band formed in Charlottesville, Virginia in 1991. Founding members were singer-songwriter and guitarist Dave Matthews, bassist Stefan Lessard, drummer/backing vocalist Carter Beauford and saxophonist LeRoi Moore. Boyd Tinsley was added to the band as a violinist soon after the band was formed. Moore died suddenly in August 2008 due to complications from an ATV accident. Grammy Award-winner Jeff Coffin, of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, has since filled Moore’s spot as the band’s saxophonist. Rashawn Ross and Tim Reynolds have also become full-time touring members of the band. With musicians who each have roots in differing genres, including jazz, classical, soul, rock, bluegrass, and hip-hop, the band has come together to create an eclectic sound which has earned them fans from a variety of quarters.
What Would You Say
http://djallyn.org/media/dave-matthews-band-what-would-you-say.flvUp and down the puppies’ hair
Fleas and ticks jump everywhere
‘Cause of original sinDown the hill fell Jack and Jill
And you came tumbling after
‘Cause of original sinWipe away the tears
Drink a hope to happy years
And you may find
A lifetime’s passed me byWhat would you say
Don’t drop the big one
If you a monkey on a string
well Don’t cut my life line
If you a doggie on a chain
Don’t bite the mailman
What would you sayI was there when the bear
Ate his head, thought it was a candy
Everyone goes in the endKnock knock on the door
Who’s it for, theres nobody in here
Look in the mirror my friendI don’t understand at best
I cannot speak for all the rest
at mornin rise a lifetime’s passed me byWhat would you say
Dont’ drop the big one
If you a monkey on a string
well Don’t cut my life line
If you a doggie on a chain
Don’t bite the mailman
What would you sayEvery dog has its day every day has its way
Of being forgotten – “Mom, it’s my birthday!”
whatd you say (then what could you say)
what would you sayI was there when the bear
Ate his head, thought it was a candy
Everyone goes in the endKnock knock on the door
Who’s it for, theres nobody in here
Look in the mirror my friendI don’t understand at best
I cannot speak for all the rest
at mornin rise a lifetime’s passed me bywhat would you say?
