Een Shoot the Moon site
Petula Clark begon in de jaren veertig als actrice. Vanaf 1954 ging ze ook platen maken.
In 1963 raakte haar carrière in het slop, maar daar maakte
Downtown
een
overtuigend einde aan. Ze nam het in vier talen op en het werd in 1965 wereldwijd een
monsterhit. Vooral in Amerika kon ze niet meer stuk: 15 achtereenvolgende singles
kregen een hitnotering. Ook in Nederland was ze succesvol, met 12 hits tussen 1957 en
1971.

Downtown
Downtown
And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along
So maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles
Forget all our cares
So go downtown
Things'll be great when you're
Downtown
Don't wait a minute more
Downtown
Everything's waiting for you (downtown, downtown)
Downtown (downtown)
Downtown (downtown)
Downtown (downtown)
Downtown (downtown)...
When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go
Downtown
When you've got worries
All the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know
Downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles
Forget all your cares
So go downtown
Things'll be great when you're
Downtown
No finer place, for sure
Downtown
Everything's waiting for you (downtown, downtown)
Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows
Downtown
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close
Downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with him too before the night is over
Happy again
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles
Forget all your cares
So go downtown
Where all the lights are bright
Downtown
Waiting for you tonight
Downtown
You're gonna be alright now (downtown)
Downtown, downtown
