Leo Sayer
One Man Band
Written by - Courtney & Sayer
From - Silver Bird
Well, everybody 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
But then the law man comes says move along
So you move along all day

Well, I'm a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend me 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
And 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
Well, I can play you any song you like
To cheer up that life you lead

Oh, I'm a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
To my one man band

And oh oh oh, look at the rain falling
Oh oh oh, look at it rain
Oh, look at it rain

And nobody sees the minstrel boy as he sings his tale of woe
And nobody sees him coming, nobody sees him go
So hey there mister, don't you look so sad
Don't look so ill at ease
Well I can play you any song you like
To cheer up that life you lead

Well, I'm a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
To my one man band

Well, I'm a one man band...

Oh, I'm a one man band
I'm just a one man band
Oh, I'm a one man band...
