lyrics

  A young man named Adam 
Watches his city unfold 
He doesn’t know anybody,
 His time it travels so slow
  He steps onto a subway 
His stonewashed denim intact
 And upon his arrival  
He owns nothing but the shirt off his back

  Inspiration strikes,  in the most peculiar times 
Inspiration strikes, and oh man I’d bet a dime, it got ya singing 

  La la la la
 La la la la
 La la la la, la la la

A young woman named Jolene
 Labeled as the homecoming queen
 But life after high-school, 
Financial situation turned lean  
She steps out onto a ledge 
Her life flashes before her eyes
 But in the back of her, apartment
 She can hear her 8 month old cry  

  Inspiration strikes in the most peculiar times 
Inspiration strikes and oh man I’d bet a dime, it got ya singing  

La la la la  
La la la la 
La la la la, la la la  

Well life can go by,  slow or quick 
But believe me darling, we are all a little terminally sick

  Inspiration strikes in the most peculiar times 
Inspiration strikes and oh man I’d bet a dime, it got ya singing  

La la la la  
La la la la 
La la la la, la la la  

  Well curse these weathermen
 It rained a whole week straight, 
So I’m packing my bags 
I do not appreciate   
This black hole of a town
 Always dragging me down 
So I’m headed out west
 I guess I’ll see you around

  Inspiration strikes in the most peculiar times 
Inspiration strikes and oh man I’d bet a dime, it got ya singing  

La la la la  
La la la la 
La la la la, la la la

about

Monto Newfoundland and Labrador

Monto, hailing from one of the most easterly points in North America, is a rock band in the truest sense. The band, formed in 2011, have left audiences from their hometown of Bonavista totally enthralled by serving them something they rarely get to hear much of any more - music steeped in the country, folk, blues and soul roots of great rock 'n roll. ... more
