Lyrics

One Man Band

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 police come and say move along

So you move along all day.

I'm a one man band

Nobody cares or understands.

Is there anybody out there who could lend a hand

To my one man band?

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 choose

To cheer up the life you lead.

I'm a one man band

And nobody hears the minstrel boy

As he sings his tale of woe

Nobody sees him disappear

And nobody sees him go.

So hey

There

Mister

Don't you look so sad

I'm a one man band

Oh

Look at the rain falling.

Oh

Look at the rain.
