Story behind the song
"Wondrous Place" is a song written by Jeff Lewis and Bill Giant. It was recorded by Billy Fury who cut several versions of the song during his career. His original release of "Wondrous Place" reached No. 25 on the UK Singles Chart in late 1960. The song gained further recognition forty years later when Fury's version was used on a UK television advertisement for the Toyota Yaris.
The original version of "Wondrous Place" was released in the US by Jimmy Jones, but the single failed to chart.
The song was covered in 2008 by Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner and the Rascals' Miles Kane for their project, the Last Shadow Puppets. It was released as B-side of the group's first single, "The Age of the Understatement".
Lyrics
I found a place full of charms,
A magic world in my baby's arms.
Her soft embrace like a-satin and lace -
A wondrous place.
What a spot in a storm,
To cuddle up and stay nice and warm.
Away from harm in my baby's arms -
A wondrous place.
Man I'm nowhere
When I'm anywhere else,
But I don't care,
Everything is right when she holds me tight.
Her tender hand on my face,
I'm in heaven in her embrace.
I wanna stay and never go away '
A wondrous place.
A wondrous place.
Man I'm nowhere
When I'm anywhere else,
But I don't care,
Everything is right when she holds me tight.
Her tender hand on my face,
I'm in heaven in her embrace.
I wanna stay and never go away '
A wondrous place.
