GENESIS - Banjo Man lyrics

rate me

Gimme a song I knowsomething I can relate to

People never criticise the way I play

Show me the way to goI need to make a breakthrough

I don't think that I can wait another day

It's putting years on meI'm a young man going grey

I don't 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

OohI really can make no sense of itas hard as I try

Is it something I do wrong please won't 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 emotionemotionoohemotionemotionooh

Say gimme a song I knowsomething 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 don't think that I can wait another day

It's putting years on meI'm a young man going grey

I don't 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 emotionemotionoohooh

Emotionemotionooh
