Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet Well, another crazy day You'll drink the night away And forget about everything This city desert makes you feel so cold It's got so many people, but it's got no soul And it's 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 He opens 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 anything He's got this dream about buying some land He's gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands And then he'll settle down In some 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 |

You know I need your love, you got that hold over me
Long as I got your love, you know that I'll never leave When I wanted you to share my life, I had no doubt in my mind And it's been you, woman, right down the line I know how much I lean on you, only you can see Changes that I've been through have left their mark on me You've been as constant as a northern star, the brightest light that shines It's been you, woman, right down the line I just wanna say this is my way Of telling you everything I could never say before Yeah, this is my way Of telling you that every day I'm loving you so much more 'Cause you believed in me through my darkest night Put something better inside of me, you brought me into the light Threw away all those crazy dreams, I put them all behind And it was you, woman, right down the line I just wanna say this is my way Of telling you everything I could never say before Yeah, this is my way Of telling you that every day I'm loving you so much more If I should doubt myself, if I'm losing ground I won't turn to someone else, they'd only let me down When I wanted you to share my life, I had no doubt in my mind And it's been you, woman, right down the line |

Night Owl
Right Down the Line (Compilation) One More Dream (Compilation) Clowns to the Left, Jokers to the Right (Compilation) Out on the street I was talkin' to a man He said "there's so much of this life of mine that I don't understand" You shouldn't worry yes that ain't no crime Cause if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time (next time). You need direction, yeah you need a name When you're standing in the crossroads every highway looks the same After a while you can recognize the signs So if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time (next time). Life is a liar yeah life is a cheat It'll lead you on and pull the ground from underneath your feet No use complainin', don't you worry, don't you whine Cause if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time (next time). You gotta grow, you gotta learn by your mistakes You gotta die a little everyday just to try to stay awake When you believe there's no mountain you can climb And if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time (next time). Next time, hmmmmm Drums: Liam Genockey Bass Guitar: Gary Taylor Electric Piano: Tommy Eyre Synthesizers: Tommy Eyre Guitars: Hugh Burns Percussion: Frank Ricotti Sax: Raphael Ravenscroft Acoustic Guitar: Gerry Rafferty Vocals: Gerry Rafferty |

Big old moon and a sweet starry night
I think I'll go out walking Wish I could change the way you're feelin' tonight But I'm just tired of talkin' You're still giving me that same old line Like a bird that keeps on squawkin' Sometimes I wonder what goes on in your mind I'm just tired of talkin'. Now little by little, and bit by bit, the truth is slowly dawning I love you honey, but you just won't quit, let's leave it til the morning. You lay the bait and I get caught in your trap I'm the game you're stalkin' Let's say good night and just leave it like that I'm so tired of talkin' (yes I am) Now little by little, and bit by bit, the truth is slowly dawning We've got a puzzle but the pieces don't fit, let's leave it till the morning. Same old blues at the end of the night But you've got to keep on rockin' Turn up the music, and turn out the light I'm so tired of talkin' (yeah yeah yeah) Drums/Percussion: Arran Ahmun Bass Guitar: Ian Maidman Keyboards: Kenny Craddock / Alan Clark / Gerry Rafferty Electric Guitars: Jerry Donahue Uilleann Pipes: Davy Spillane Whistle: Davy Spillane Fiddles: Rick Sanders Accordion: Geraint Watkins Vocals: Gerry Rafferty |

Rafferty
Way down south in the garden of England We got a song to sing and we let it fill the air We got it made, yeah, in the garden of England Where the sun comes up to see us everyday. We feel like strangers but still we call it home We got no reason but still we feel alone But when the night comes, we can roll away the stone To each his own, to each his own Yeah, the simple life. We live at home in the garden of England They got us on the run, we can feel it in the air We got it made in the garden of England Where we celebrate the English way of life. They had an empire, they give it all away Their finest hour seems only yesterday They still remember when Britannia ruled the waves She ruled the waves, she ruled the waves, yeah Yeah, the simple life. [We conservatives have always maintained the need] [For an experiment with a tougher regime] [For depriving young football hooligans of their leisure time] [I can announce today] [That the experiment promised in our election manifest] [Is to begin in Surrey] [These will be no holiday camps] [We will introduce on a regular basis] [Drill, parades and inspections] [From 6:45 am 'til lights out at 9:30 pm] [Life will be conducted at a brisk tempo] |

Out on the street and the rain is fallin', I got nowhere to go
Here in my heart I can hear you callin' maybe I should come back home I don't know what keeps us together, but I can't break the chain I don't mind a little stormy weather, but I just can't stand the rain. Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon. Sleep won't come so you lie there waitin', lookin' at the silvery light Tellin' yourself there's nothin' new, so whatever gets you through the night Meanwhile back in the music business the beat goes on and on I sell my soul to the company man, when there's nothin' else to lean upon. Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon. People come and people go, friends they disappear There's only one thing that I wanna know, tell me where do we go from here Everybody's on the make, everybody's tryin' to get ahead In a world like this you just exist to feed the walkin' dead. Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon. Lookin' out on a world gone crazy, waitin' for the fun to begin The race is on yeah they're gettin' ready, Jesus what a state we're in Meanwhile down in my backyard I'm sittin' doin' solitary Now that I've milked the sacred cow, I just worry ‘bout the military. Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon.

Night comes down and finds you alone
In a space and time of your own Lost in dreams in a world full of shadows. Down the street the neon light shines Offering refuge and hope to the blind You stumble in with no thought of tomorrow. Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low And I end looking for somewhere to go Yes, I should know better but I can't say no. Oh no no no No no no no The lights are low and the Muzak is loud You watch yourself as you play to the crowd One more face in a palace of mirrors. One more drink, you're sailing away One more dream but it's looking ok One more time to watch the flow of the river. Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low And I end looking for somewhere to go Yes, I should know better but I can't say no. Oh no no no No no no no no no no oooooooh Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low And I end looking for somewhere to go Yes, I should know better but I can't say no. Oh no no no No no no no You've seen it all yeah you've seen it before Like a fool you always come back for more You live your life like there was no more tomorrow. Night comes down and finds you alone In a space and time of your own Lost in dreams in a world full of shadows. Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low And I end looking for somewhere to go Yes, I should know better but I can't say no. Oh no no no Oh no no no No no no no No no no no No no No no Oooooooooooh Drums: Liam Genockey Bass Guitar: Mo Foster Organ: Pete Wingfield Electric Piano: Graham Preskett String Machine: Graham Preskett Guitars: Hugh Burns Percussion: Frank Ricotti Lyricon Solo: Raphael Ravenscroft Piano/Polymoog: Gerry Rafferty Vocals: Gerry Rafferty |

Well we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives away
While the spirits come and go without a sound And just like you and me, they're tryin' to find a way, find a way, find a way home. There's a full moon in the sky, but that don't worry me I don't ever hang my soul out on the line When the witchin' hour comes, I always fly away, fly away, fly away home. There's a light in the city, that comes down from above Leavin' you as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove Don't blow your tomorrows, don't throw away your love You've got to be as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove. Now you once asked me why we can't communicate But it doesn't always pay to tell the truth If I told you right now, you'd only run away, run away, run away home So we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives away While the spirits come and go without a sound Yeah just like you and me, they're tryin' to find a way, find a way, find a way home. There's a light in the city, that comes down from above Leavin' you as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove Don't blow your tomorrows, don't throw away your love You've got to be as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove.

Night was fallin', the horizon was callin', as we drove into the setting sun
Goin' back to that country that we still call home Said good bye to the capital city, yeah this town has got me on the run I need to spend some time out in the great unknown. I'm lookin' for sweet inspiration, every morning noon and night But these days it just keeps on passing me by, I know you don't feel like making this journey, but you know that time is on my side I can't go on living like a refugee Way down south where the living is easy, we can look across the great divide But all we've got is a pocketful of memories. We stood on the motorway shoulder as the sun rose over the lowland hills And my heart broke down, when I looked at you Don't tell me you're leavin' me now, when you know how hard I've been tryin' Darling you're my world, don't bring it all tumbling down It's only the code of the road, and the sound of a motor wheel cryin' Don't renege my love, don't bring it all tumbling down. One more morning, yes another day dawning, and I'm looking at a bird that sings Wish I could change my whole life, and just fly away Over the mountains down through the valleys, through the homeland of the Celtic kings Now it's just the frontline for the U.S.A.. We live in a time when the spirit of love and devotion is breakin' down And my heart broke down when I looked at you Don't tell me you're leavin' me now, when you know how hard I've been tryin' Darling you're my world, don't bring it all tumbling down It's only the code of the road, and the sound of a motor wheel cryin' Don't renege my love, don't bring it all tumbling down.

When we were young we used to sing
And we could feel the harmony You'd sit there waiting in the wings How long have you been waitin' to let your light shine? Many years have gone since then Seen us go our different ways But now we sit here once again Tonight we're gonna sing out, tonight our light will shine. This is the time and place To bring out our memories It's written on every face I can see it in you, you can see it in me. In all the years we had As part of a family tree We knew the good and bad I can see it in you, you can see it in me. I know it's left its mark on you I see the same things in myself You know there's nothin' we can't do We've been a long time waitin', but some things never die. It's time to leave all that behind It's time to lay that ghost to rest We can't deny the ties that bind Tonight we're gonna sing out, tonight our light will shine. This is the time and place To bring out our memories It's written on every face I can see it in you, you can see it in me. In all the years we had (when we were young we used to sing) As part of a family tree (we could feel the harmony) We knew the good and bad I can see it in you, you can see it in me. When we were young we used to sing...

In a dance hall by the river, I was singing in a travelling band
Just another small town night, with a silver moon shining I remember when I saw you, that first moment when it all began You looked across a crowded room, and stole my heart away. And we stood out in the moonlight, in the shadow of a factory wall Music playing soft and low, and a gentle breeze sighing And the light on the river was magic, yes a magic that I still recall Moments come and moments go, but these moments still remain. Remember how we met, down by the waterside How easily we forget, all the love that we knew. So we married our fortunes together, and we sealed it with a golden band But somewhere down along the road, we could see the flame dying Now an exiled heart gets weary, like two strangers in a foreign land We reached the point of no return, a long long time ago. Remember how we met, down by the waterside How easily we forget, all the love that we knew.

Spinning on another wheel, goin' round in slow motion
Caught up in another dream, driftin' on a blue ocean When are you gonna reach out, only you can turn your world around When will you surrender, and wake up to the real But you don't want to start out just yet, you watch the seasons come and go You remember and then you forget, all along the way. You can make a better life, you're just waitin' for the right moment You can find another way, you're just waitin' for the right moment When are you gonna let go, and forget about the life you knew When will you surrender, and wake up to the real Now you know that it's all borrowed time, and still you waste another day But you watch and you wait for a sign all along the way. |
