ONE MAN BAND

I AM THE LEADER OF A ONE-MAN BAND HAD A LITTLE GIG BUT I JUST GOT CANNED
THEY TOLD ME I WASN'T ANY GREAT CRAIC TOO LOUD, TOO DEAR AND DON'T YOU COME BACK
IT WASN'T WHAT I NEEDED ANYWAY NOT THE KIND OF MUSIC I WANT TO PLAY
I DON'T LIKE RAP OR COUNTRY CORN ALL I WANT TO PLAY IS THE ELECTRIC HORN

I WANT TO TRY MY MUSIC ON FOR SIZE NO ONE TO ACCLAIM OR CRITICIZE
DON'T NEED AN AUDIENCE, JUST LEAVE ME BE WITH THE BIRDS AND THE BEES AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA
IT SEEMS NOBODY WANTS ME IN THEIR BAND EITHER I'M WAY OUT OR THEY'RE TOO BLAND
MUSIC SHOULD EXPAND, WE MUST EXPLORE WHAT'S BEHIND EACH AND EVERY DOOR

THERE ARE SOUNDS OUT THERE I HAVEN'T HEARD YET PEOPLE TO PLAY WITH THAT REALLY GET IT
DEEP DOWN IN MY SOUL I KNOW THAT I'M RIGHT ELECTRIC BLUES CAN GET SO TIGHT
SO HERE YOU SEE I AM ON GRIANAN HILL AS THE SUN COMES UP I CAN PLAY MY FILL
HERE I STAND ALL OVER SWILLY LOCH GREET A BRAND NEW DAY WITH SOME ELECTRIC TALK

NO MORE BARROOMS NOT FOR ME THE MUSIC AND THE HORN CAN SET ME FREE
LET THE NOTES SOAR UP TO THE SKY JOIN IN WITH THE UNIVERSE WITH ONE GREAT CRY
