Georgia Satellites, The - Sheila Lyrics






The other night, I had a dream
I was dying in desert sand
and then above watching over me
stood an angel with a golden hand

[chorus]
singing Sheila Sheila, Sheila Sheila
screeling and a reeling
Sheila Sheila, Sheila Sheila, Sheila Sheila
my heart she was stealing

living here in this old town
there ain't a lot to do
and after work I just ride around
looking out for something new
when I saw you standing in a drugstore
trying on your diamond ring
had to run in jump through the front door
grab your hand and start to sing about

[repeat chorus]

She don't run, she don't hide
Sheila thinks that everyone is beautiful inside

Sheila put your red dress on and let your long hair down
we're gonna make them turn the lights on
on the hill at the edge of town
I was lost and on my own I was lost and broken down
and when you sing that old Shirelle song
I'm the king with the golden crown

singing na na na na oh sheila sheila [say 3 times]

Sheila's inside of the night, trying to take me into the light [4 or more times]

Georgia Satellites, The Sheila Comments
  1. I.... D....

    Saw them live in Glasgow and the band couldn't believe that we all were word perfect on the songs. I was even lucky to get a drumstick souvenir. Great band

  2. B.... C....

    THE LAST BANDIT italian rock band, recently covered this song live, check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oB9nrj06SNQ&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR3sEtnIDjXMHuNHoRz8LuqEjJIxZPVFJLbNoxQvKgJeRW91y05DGb-RBhw

    Why is this the first time I'm seeing this vid? I'm old enough to remember when Mtv played videos.👵

  4. J.... F....

    I was into these & The Scorchers back in the early 1980s when hardly anyone else in the UK had heard of them-lifelong fan to this day.

  5. L.... C....

    Please tell me someone has tabs?

    L.... C....

    +Lawrence Cook ? use your ears buddy

  6. M.... F....

    I got to see Rick and his new compatriots do this song a few days ago. I loved it 30 years ago ( OK maybe 29 ) and I loved it in Laughlin last week. Six years gone, Can't stand the pain, Railroad Steel!  Thank-you God for letting me live this long.  Oh and Dan you think maybe you could play in the states this year?  I went to Nevada to see Rick. Do I have to go to Europe to see You?  Marty Fab.

  7. R.... B....

    This is perfect for a stormy day. Cracking this song in my car on a stormy day is just awesome.

  8. P.... H....

    Don't remember this one being in heavy rotation on MTV in the day, but was def a good song.  They deserved more airplay than they got.

  9. G.... ....

  14. C.... a....

    This is awesome.
    They are one of the best Bands of all time!

  15. t.... ....

    One of the greatest bands ever....Saw them on the Land of Salvation and Sin Tour and they just blew the doors off the place. I've seen most of the "major" acts throughout the years and the Satellites were the best live band by a large margin...!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  16. b.... ....

    @garydupuis Their days are numbered.

  17. G.... D....

    The one person who didn't like this can suck my left nut. Go listen to your Lady GaGa and leave those of us who like REAL music alone.
