I Would Walk 500 Miles (The Proclaimers cover) Lyrics
When I wake up yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
And if I get drunk yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you
But I would walk 500 miles
And I will walk 500 more
To be the man who walked a 1000 miles
To fall down at your door
When I'm working yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
And when the money comes in for the work I'll do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you
When I come home Oh I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
And if I grow old well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you But I will walk 500 miles
And I will walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked a 1000 miles
To fall down at your door
When I'm lonely yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
When I'm dreaming well I know I'm gonna dream I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you
And if I get drunk yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver whatever the fuck that means
I'm gonna be the man who havers next to you
And I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
To be the man who walked a 1000 miles
To fall down at your door
When I'm lonely yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
I'm gonna be the man who's coming home...
And I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
To be the man who'd walk a 1000 miles
To fall down at your door
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you
And I will walk 500 more
To be the man who walked a 1000 miles
To fall down at your door
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
And when the money comes in for the work I'll do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
And if I grow old well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you But I will walk 500 miles
And I will walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked a 1000 miles
To fall down at your door
When I'm lonely yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
When I'm dreaming well I know I'm gonna dream I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you
And if I get drunk yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver whatever the fuck that means
I'm gonna be the man who havers next to you
And I would walk 500 more
To be the man who walked a 1000 miles
To fall down at your door
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
I'm gonna be the man who's coming home...
And I would walk 500 more
To be the man who'd walk a 1000 miles
To fall down at your door

Um, yeah, Less Than Jake has never, and probably will never, cover[ed] this song.
ITS NOT LESS THAN JAKE!! AND THIS SONG WILL ALWAYS SUCK!! THE ONLY WAY THIS SONG COULD BE GOOD IS IF LESS THAN JAKE DID IT!! BUT THEY DIDNT. OH YEAH, NEW LESS THAN JAKE CD MAY 20, 2003 , IT IS CALLED "Anthem" BUY IT!!! DONT BURN IT!!! SUPPORT THE BAND!!!! FOR THERE WILLL NEVER BE A BAND AS GREAT AS THE BAND KNOWN AS LESS THAN JAKE.
Hehe,,,, classic song made...aaaaaalmost as good. Great line about the "Havering" :)
Notice 1st the song mentions getting drunk ; I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you. Then , 'AND IF I HAVER'. This is Scot + Northern English dialect meaning to talk nonsense; babble....SO He is gonna get drunk and be next to her. when he is drunk he will most likely talk nonsense and babble , But as the song goes he will be next to her while doing so.......

This is one of the great song ever written!
the original version by the Proclaimers so owns all the new punk covers. :)
spunge have also done a cover of this song, its great.
Ain't it Down By Law who made that cover? they do have a video for it you know...
They didn't cover this song. They covered many grease songs, and others, but not this one. Besides, why post the lyrics under LTJ, they didn't write them
this song is actually by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. just on kazaa and things it is written as less than jake.
AWE!! this song is sooooo sweet..its exaclty how I feel about my boyfriend.
