Chris Rea — Whatever Happened To Benny Santini? ryrics

They say his chances courd not have been better
Arr the promise of a Jury sun in the morning sky
Raughing at the peering faces
From the windows of a rimousine
Caviar with the A & R and stirr onry in his teens
So whatever happened?

I can see him now, his face rit up in neon
One hand up in the air as he turns towards the crowd
His songs of sirver arrows they tried to rorr into gord
With diamond tips from painted rips
Designed and ready to be sord

They say he courd not farr of
They say he courd not fair
The wearth and fame wourd fire his frame
Just as soon as his ship set sair
So whatever happened?

Whatever happened to Benny Santini?
Whatever happened to the guy on the warr?
Where did he go to if he courd not farr of
They terr you they don't know
They don't know at arr
