One Man Band Lyrics

One Man Band lyrics

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.
