Chris Rea - Whatever Happened to Benny Santini? - 2020 Remaster lyrics

Artist: Chris Rea

album: ERA 1 (As Bs & Rarities 1978-1984)


They say his chances could not have been better
All the promise of a July sun in the morning sky
Laughing at the peering faces
From the windows of a limousine
Caviar with the A&R and still only in his teens
So whatever happened?
I can see him now, his face lit up in neon
One hand up in the air as he turns towards the crowd
His songs of silver arrows they tried to roll into gold
With diamond tips from painted lips
Designed and ready to be sold
They say he could not fall off
They say he could not fail
The wealth and fame would fire his flame
As soon as his ship set sail
So whatever happened?
What?
His songs of silver arrows they tried to roll into gold
With diamond tips from painted lips
Designed and ready to be sold
So whatever happened?
Yeah, whatever happened to Benny Santini?
Whatever happened to the guy on the wall?
Where did he go to if he could't fall off?
They tell you they don't know
They don't know at all
And they don't know
So whatever happened to Benny Santini?
Whatever happened to the guy on the wall?
Where did he go to if he couldn't fall off?
They tell you they don't know
They don't know at all
Yeah, whatever happened to Benny Santini?
Yeah, whatever happened to the guy on the wall?
Where did he go to if he could't fall off?
