Looking for an Echo
On the seafront down at Brighton, we used to harmonise
Me, Grifton and Johnny, Slick and some other guys
(Ooh) we were singing oldies, but they were goodies then
And today (ooh) when I play my old 45s, I remember when
We practiced in a backroom down at old St. Louis Hall
Crowding under the arches, singing doo-wop to the wall
(Ah) and when we played the Richmond, we'd really pack a bit
And the people (ah) would travel from miles around
Just to hear the Razors sing
'Cause we were looking for an echo (ooh)
An answer to our sound
(Ooh) a place to be in harmony
A place we almost found (ooh)
We forget the world around us when we sang old chapel bells
We'd sing songs by the Moonglows, the Harptones and the Dells
And when we sang sincerely, we would sing with all our might
Even though the town was sleeping, we'd break the still of the night
We've seen a lot of changes since when we first began (doo-doo-doo)
We've gone our separate ways now, even sang with some other bands
Now we've turned into oldies, but we were newies then
And today when I play my old 45s, I remember when
We were (oh) looking for an echo
An answer to our sound
(Oh) a place to be in harmony
A place we almost found, ooh
We were looking for an echo
An answer to our sound
(Oh) a place to be in harmony
A place we almost found, ooh
We were looking for an echo
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Me, Grifton and Johnny, Slick and some other guys
(Ooh) we were singing oldies, but they were goodies then
And today (ooh) when I play my old 45s, I remember when
We practiced in a backroom down at old St. Louis Hall
Crowding under the arches, singing doo-wop to the wall
(Ah) and when we played the Richmond, we'd really pack a bit
And the people (ah) would travel from miles around
Just to hear the Razors sing
'Cause we were looking for an echo (ooh)
An answer to our sound
(Ooh) a place to be in harmony
A place we almost found (ooh)
We forget the world around us when we sang old chapel bells
We'd sing songs by the Moonglows, the Harptones and the Dells
And when we sang sincerely, we would sing with all our might
Even though the town was sleeping, we'd break the still of the night
We've seen a lot of changes since when we first began (doo-doo-doo)
We've gone our separate ways now, even sang with some other bands
Now we've turned into oldies, but we were newies then
And today when I play my old 45s, I remember when
We were (oh) looking for an echo
An answer to our sound
(Oh) a place to be in harmony
A place we almost found, ooh
We were looking for an echo
An answer to our sound
(Oh) a place to be in harmony
A place we almost found, ooh
We were looking for an echo
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
