leo sayer - one man band

writers: leo sayer & david courtney

well everybody knows down ladbrook 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 im 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 havent eaten at all

my my you must be getting so thin

and soon my cap wont be large enough

to drop a half a crown in

so hey there mister dont you look so sad

dont look so ill at ease

well i can play you any song you like

to cheer up that life you lead

well im 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

nobody sees the minstrel boy as he sings his tale of woe

nobody sees him coming

nobody see him go

so hey there mister dont you look so sad

dont look so ill at ease

well i can play you any song you like

to cheer up that life you lead

well im a one man band

nobody knows nor understands

is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand

to my one man band

well im a one man band

nobody knows nor understands

is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand

to my one man band

oh im a one man band

just a one man band

well im a one man band
