Beachland Ballroom
(Tilbrook/Large)
It’s such a no brainer when I have to choose
The Beachland Ballroom or the house of who’s?
When Mark’s on the decks and Cindy’s in the room
You’ll be as animated as a loony ‘toon
Who could be bothered with the road to Mandalay?
Now it’s time to dress up and go out to play
If you wind up in Cleveland wanting something to do
In the Beachland Ballroom
Beachland Ballroom
Beachland Ballroom fun’s absolute
Theme park Rock & Roll would love to close them down
Their big buck competition opened up in town
Mark & Cindy’s answer to the corporate suits
A funky music lovers club with local roots
A few years ago we arrived late for a gig
Our bus had broken down & I was
sweating like a pig
The audience came out & helped us carry in our stuff
That’s the kind of thing about the
Beachland that I love
Big guys block the Sun
And throw Weight around
So it’s hard to reach the Gold
At the end of the rainbow
Bands & DJ’s playing both of the rooms
Jukeboxes blasting out some killer vinyl tunes
In the Beachland Ballroom
The Beachland Ballroom
The Beachland Ballroom
They’re giving it away it’s so free!
In the Beachland Ballroom
The Beachland Ballroom
The Beachland Ballroom
Things are looking up
I was there, at the historic moment, the first time Glenn Tilbrook and The Fluffers played this song at The Beachland Ballroom. There was magic in the air! It is easy to see why the band loves the place so much. It’s a relaxed atmosphere filled with nice people, a place where you feel right at home. There were no corporate suits in sight that night that I could see and the fun really was absolute! Can’t wait to see (and hear) the band there again.
Oh, did I mention that this song rocks? Love the guitar. Pure rock and roll at its finest.
