One Man Band Songtext
von Leo Sayer

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 lawman comes says "move along"
And 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
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
When 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-whoa-whoa, look at the rain falling
Oh-whoa-whoa, look at it rain
Oh, look at it rain

Nobody sees the minstrel boy
As he sings his tale of woe
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
When 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
Nobody knows, nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
To my one man band?

Oh, I′m a one man band
I'm just a one man band
Well, I′m a one man band
I'm just a one man band
