Goo Goo Dollsis an alternative rock band formed in 1985 in Buffalo, New York by guitarist/vocalist John Rzeznik and bassist/vocalist Robby Takac. They are perhaps most famous for the hit "Iris", featured on the soundtrack to the 1998 film City of Angels. Currently, the band consists of John Rzeznik (guitar, vocals), Robby Takac (vocals, bass) and Mike Malinin (drums). Early in their career, the Goo Goo Dolls were frequently dismissed by critics as mere imitators of the Replacements; however, the band refined and mainstreamed their sound enough to become one of the most popular adult alternative rock bands of the latter half of the '90s, selling millions of records to audiences largely unfamiliar with their inspirations. That's no knock on the band, either -- their music simply improved in craft and accessibility as the years progressed, and radio happened to be receptive to what a decade earlier would have been considered collegiate power pop.

Broadway Lyrics
Goo Goo Dolls
Chorus:
Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting
In the old mans bar
Waiting for his turn to die
The cowboy kills the rock star
And friday nights gone too far
The dim light hides the years
On all the faded girls
Forgotten but not gone
You drink it off your mind
You talk about the world
Like its someplace that youve been
You see youd love to run home
But you know you aint got one
And youre livin in a world
That youre best forgotten around here
Chorus
You choke down all your anger
Forget your only son
You pray to statues when you sober up for fun
Your anger dont impress me
The world slapped in your face
It always rains like hell on the losers day parade
You see youd love to run home
But you know you aint got one
cause youre livin in a world that youre best forgotten
And when youre thinkin of a joke
And nobodys gonna listen
To the one small point
I know they been missin round here
Chorus
You see youd love to run home
But you know you aint got one
cause youre livin in a world
That youre best forgotten
And if youre thinkin of a joke
Do you think that theyll listen
To the one small point
I know they been missin round here
Chorus
