Yes Gerry Rafferty
Baker Street (Live)
Artist Rene Froger
Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well another crazy day
You drink the night away
And forget about everything
This city's damned makes you feel so cold
It's got so many people but it's got no soul
And it's taken you so long
To find out you were wrong
And forget about everything
Used to think that it was so easy
Used to think that it was so easy
But you're trying, you're trying now
Just one more year and then you'll be happy
Another year and then you'll be happy
But you're trying, you're trying now
Way down the way there's a light in his place
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asked where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about everything
He's got this dream about buying some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
It's taking you so long
And then he'll settle down
And forget about everything
But you know he's always keep moving
You know he's gonna keep moving
'Cause he's rolling, he's the rolling stone
When you wake up, it's a new morning
The sun is shining, it's a new morning
But you're going, you're going home
yes, it is gerry rafferty ( ex- steelers wheel, you know, stuck in the middle with you ) and the song baker street. it is a very thought provoking lyric for a male, like it is something you should be thinking when you reach a certain age. reminds me in that respect of save a prayer by duran duran. i think these lyrics only appeal to men. personally, the one night stands would be fine if the wife said i could and anyone was up for it and have you seen the price of land in britain today, we can't afford it. so, it's the wife and me and no money. it's not as good a lyric, i'll admit.
