![]() The Neighborhood (1990) [ larger cover art ] |
Good night, sleep tight
The big bright sun has gone away
Done gone away
Goodbye, don't cry
Tomorrow will bring us a brand new day
We can run and play
And they'll laugh up and down the hall
Don't you go shout when you hear them fall
Let them fly across the wall
Let them cry 'til the morning calls
Little two step angel dance
Big night, bright lights
Time now to lay them all to rest
Put 'em all to rest
Bad guys, mean eyes
All gone away to where they belong
Let's just sing our song
And they'll laugh up and down the hall
Don't you go shout when you hear them fall
Let them fly across the wall
Let them cry 'til the morning calls
Little two step angel dance
Good days, new ways
Let go of all things when you sleep
When you're all asleep
Good night, sleep right
Tomorrow is gonna bring us another day
So we can run and play
And they'll laugh up and down the hall
Don't you go shout when you hear them fall
Let them fly across the wall
Let them cry, 'til the morning calls
Little two step angel dance

This song was originally released in 1990 after the lobos had been in existence for nearly 15 years. I realize the 'dudes had formed a few years prior to that but I hardly think they'd also managed to develop to the point that they would be influencing a veteran band in such a short time. Remember what Mark Twain once said, "Get your facts straight first, then distort them as you please." I do think the 'dudes have one of the cleverest names ever, though.

Great band, very diverse, saw them live a couple of years or so ago in San Diego and they were a little disjointed, still put out rich music. One of my favorite CDs is their "Just Another Band From East L.A," originally recorded to LP in 1978. |

| kcar | Posted: Nov 03, 2008 - 00:05 This song deserves a LOT more airplay on RP, though I'm indebted to this station for introducing me to it. My favorite Los Lobos track. |
| bpkengor (York, Maine, USA) | Posted: Jul 28, 2008 - 18:05 If you are looking to start your Lobos collection, "The Neighborhood" is a great place to start (along with either Kiko or Good Morning Aztlan). This is one of many great songs on this recording, not a bad song on this album. "The Giving Tree" and "Jenny's Got a Pony" still blow me away.... |
| Govi (Left Coast) | Posted: May 26, 2008 - 18:17 I always thought this was Stevie Winwood. Good song! |
| cirruss (Curacao, Netherlands Antilles) | Posted: May 13, 2008 - 15:29 Damn I thought I heard Eric Clapton singing... oops. This is nice, much better than that other Los Lobos song RP always plays. |
