Baker Street (Gerry Rafferty cover) Lyrics

Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head, and dead on your feet
Well another crazy day, you drink the night away
And forget about everything

This city's dance makes you feel so cold, it's got
So many people but its got no soul
And its taken you so long to find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything.

You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you're trying, you're trying now
Another year and then you'd be happy
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
But you're crying, you're crying now

Way down the street there's a light in his place
You open the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been, you tell him who you've seen
And you talk about everything

He's got this dream about buying some land
He's gonna give up the crack and the one night stands
And then he'll settle down, it's a quiet little town
And forget about everything

But you know he'll always keep moving
You know he's never gonna stop moving
Cause he's rolling, He's the rolling stone
And when you wake up it's a new morning
The sun is shining it's a new morning
And you're going, you're going home

possibly the best cover ever done, its done perfectly by grohl and co. it is a great old song and the revamped way the foo's play it makes it sound just awesome.

one of the best covers (nothing beats all along the watch tower by hendrix) to bad they didn't get someone to play sax, would have been nice to hear grohl play sax, just for kicks

I probably only like this better than the original because I wasn't around when it was released, so I wasn't used to Gerry Rafferty's original. Great song
