Testo The Banjo Man - Genesis
Testo della canzone The Banjo Man (Genesis), tratta dall'album Congo
Give me a song I know
Something I can relate to
The people never criticize the way I play
Show me the way to go
I need to make a breakthrough
I don't think that I can wait another day
It's putting years on me
I'm a young man going gray
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, oh-oh
I really can make no sense of it
As hard as I try
Is it something I do wrong?
Please, won't you tell me why?
The 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'd feel such emotion, emotion, ooh
Emotion, emotion, oh-oh
Say give me a song I know
Something I can relate to
And no one wants to criticize the way I play
I should just say no
And play them what I want to
'Cause I don't think that I can wait another day
It's putting years on me
I'm a young man going gray
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 emotion, emotion, oh-oh, oh-oh
Emotion, emotion, oh-oh
