Day breaks
Slate drops
Check your hardest stare
Hands in pockets, shoulders up
Walkin like brando into the sun
First drag
On the blacktop
Eyes shift side to side
Wanna play chicken, I know that song
Walkin like brando, fear is all gone
A callous heart never bleeds, oh no
And a hardened stare never needs, oh no
Watch closely now, and take your cue
From the black and white parade
They never showed their hand
And they never lay down
Long legs, lipstick
Adversary stance
Choose your weapon, Ill choose mine
Talkin like brando, usin a line
So far, so good
So and so, so what
Playin straight man, drinkin bore
Walkin like brando settles the score
Look here, and look there
But dont you look through me
Left myself in the final showdown
Hard to be tough when theres no one around
Royal Crown Revue is an American band formed in Los Angeles in 1989. Although often associated with the Swing Revival movement, their musical style transcends genres, blending influences of rockabilly, punk, jazz, blues and soul. Among their most representative songs are "Solitary Man" (a cover of Neil Diamond), "The Contender" and "Walking Like Brando". The band has achieved great success on the Vans Warped Tour, sharing the stage with artists like the B-52's and the Pretenders. They have also participated in major American jazz festivals. In 2010 they even recorded a special episode of "Gene Simmons Family Jewels", with Gene Simmons taking the reins of the band. Royal Crown Revue was founded by Eddie Nichols and Mando Dorame, passionate about roots music. Initially, the lineup included brothers Mark and Adam Stern, coming from the punk band Youth Brigade. After several tours with Youth Brigade, the Sterns left the band in the mid-90s. Today Royal Crown Revue is led by Eddie Nichols, Mando Dorame (tenor saxophone, arranger and composer), Scott Steen (trumpet) and Daniel Glass (drums).
