One Man Band by Leo Sayer
Verse 1:
Ev'rybody knows down Ladbroke Grove
You have to leap across the street
You can lose your life under a taxi cab
You gotta have eyes in your feet
You find a nice soft corner and you sit right down
Take up your guitar and play
Then the law man comes and say move along
So you move along all day.
Chorus:
I'm a one man band
Nobody Knows or understands.
Is there anybody out there who wants to lend a hand
To my one man band?
Verse 2:
For three days now I haven't eaten at all
My, my I must be getting so thin
Soon my cap won't be large enough
To drop a half a crown in.
So hey there Mister, don't you look so sad
Don't look so ill at ease
I can play you any song you like
To cheer up the life you lead.
Chorus:
I'm a one man band
Nobody knows or understands.
Is there anybody out there who wants to lend a hand
To my one man band?
Bridge:
Oh, oh, oh look at that rain falling
Oh, oh, oh look at it rain.
Verse 3:
And nobody hears the minstrel boy
As he sings his tale of woe
Nobody sees him coming
And nobody sees him go.
So hey there Mister don't you look so sad
Don't look so ill at ease
I can play you any song you like
To cheer up the life you lead.
Chorus:
I'm a one man band
Nobody knows or understands.
Is there anybody out there who wants to lend a hand
To my one man band?
I'm a one man band
Nobody knows or understands.
Is there anybody out there who wants to lend a hand
To my one man band?
Outro:
I'm a one man band
I'm a one man band
I'm a one man band
