Richard cory (alternate version)


Say that Richard Cory
Owns one-half of this here town
With political connections
To spread his wealth around
Born into society, a banker's only child
He had everything a man could want
Power, grace and style
But I, I work in his factory
And I curse the life that I'm livin'
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be
Yeah, hey I wish that I could be
Lord, I wish that I could be, Richard Cory
The paper's print his picture
Everywhere he go
Richard Cory at the opera
Richard Cory at the show
And the rumours of his parties
And orgies on his yacht
Heart and soul he must be happy
With everything that he has got
But I, I work in his factory
And I curse the life I'm livin'
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be
Yeah, wish that I could be
Lord, I wish that I could be, Richard Cory
He freely give to charity And had the common touch
They were grateful for his patronage
And thanked him very much
So my mind was filled with wonder
When the evenin' headlines read
That Richard Cory went home last night
And put a bullet through his head, hu
But I, I, work in his factory
And I don't dig the life I'm livin'
I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be
And I wish that I could be
Well, I wish that I could be, Richard Cory
Yeah, I wish that I could be
Lord, I wish that I could be
Yeah, I wish that I could be
Yes, oh I wish that I could be
Just like Richard Cory

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Morrison va via di casa a 15 anni per intraprendere la sua carriera musicale. Suona in diversi locali con complessi skiffle e rock and roll prima di entrare a far parte del gruppo dei Monarchs, con i quali partecipa ad una tournée in giro per l'Europa. Nel 1964 fonda, infine, il gruppo dei Them del quale diviene il leader. La band raccoglie numerosi successi, il maggiore dei quali è Gloria, che sarebbe divenuto uno degli standard del rock e che verrà incisa da numerosi altri artisti. Morrison diviene sempre più insoddisfatto dell'utilizzo dei musicisti in studio, e lascia la formazione dopo un tour negli USA nel 1966. Ritorna a Belfast, deciso a lasciare il mondo della musica. Il produttore dei Them, Bert Berns, lo persuade a ritornare a New York e a registrare materiale da solista per l'etichetta Bang Records. Da queste prime session emerge una delle sue canzoni più famose, Brown-eyed girl, che raggiunge il numero 10 delle classifiche USA nel 1967. L'album generato da quelle ses
