Leo's Place Songtext
von Eric Burdon

You can always get a decent cup of coffee
Just a block from Piccadilly
Watching the bums, punks in the streets
The world is on parade at Leo′s place
American girls looking for a ride
Trying to get across to the other side
You see 'em all through the serving hatch
The young, the old, the yellow and black

I don′t recall your name
But I recall your face
Everyone looks the same
Hanging around at Leo's place

I don't care where I travel to
This one big circle leads me back to you
Those coffee house dreams that put me on the road
Always leads me back to Leo


I used to impress my best girls
You know, take ′em down to Leo′s place
Because of them, not me, I know
That's how come he remembers my face
So sad that things have changed
Junkies fill the place
But it don′t change the taste
The coffee's still the best at Leo′s place

I don't recall your name
But I recall your face
Everyone looks the same
Hanging around at Leo′s place

This world is not what it used to be
One time a man could hitchhike from A to Z
A country explodes, another border closed
Sometimes I wish I'd never left Leo

So if you want to see me again
I'll tell you when, you say when
I got this number but it may change
All you gotta remember is Leo′s place

I don′t recall your name
But I recall your face
Everyone looks the same
Hanging around at Leo's place


I don′t recall your name
But I recall your face
Everyone looks the same
Hanging around at Leo's place

Been to America, Africa, Asia and Japan
I′m guessing what you call a traveling man
I've seen the ladies in Africa, Tokyo and Seoul
South of the border, Rio de Janeiro

But now the time has come
Heading back where I started from
