Banjo Man — текст песни (Genesis)

Gimme a song I know, something I can relate to

People never criticise the way I play

Show me the way to go, I need to make a breakthrough

I dont think that I can wait another day



Its putting years on me, Im a young man going grey

I dont believe that I can wait another day



This simple melody is all I have

I make my living that way

I make good friends that way

Ooh, I really can make no sense of it, as hard as I try

Is it something I do wrong please wont you tell me why

People all seem to like it and no one knows about it more than i



I met a man today who walked in my direction

Stopped took off his hat and lit a cigarette

He listened carefully to what I had been playing

He threw a coin into my hat and walked away



Always play just what they want me to

Everybody wants the same song

If only I could do it in my own way

I feel such emotion, emotion, ooh, emotion, emotion, ooh



Say gimme a song I know, something I can relate to

And no one wants to criticise the way I play

I should just say no and play them what I want to

Cos I dont think that I can wait another day



Its putting years on me, Im a young man going grey

I dont believe that I can wait another day



This simple melody is all I have

I make my living that way

I make good friends that way

They feel my emotion, emotion, ooh, ooh

Emotion, emotion, ooh
