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
