(Gouldman)
East West over the ocean
Perpetual motion, travelling around
No rest, singing and playing
Night out and day in, doing the rounds
What a great life it must seem
(what a great life it must seem)
Swell joints, everything classy
Nothing that's pass, only the best
Lush girls ogling and eyeing
Crying and sighing, this is success
What a great life it must seem
(what a great life it must seem)
But when I hear young voices singing out
The bells at home come ringing out
When I think all alone
When I think of my home
Mom, Dad all round the fire
In festive attire, keeping the day
Aunts, kids, all the relations
Congratulations, this is success
What a great life it must seem
(what a great life it must seem)
But when I hear young voices singin' out
The bells at home come ringing out
When I feel all alone
Then I long for my home

Herman's Hermits sono una rock band inglese formatasi a Manchester nel 1963 come Herman and The Hermits. Il gruppo, guidato dal manager e produttore Mickie Most, ha adottato un'immagine pulita e non minacciosa, pur essendo originariamente orientato verso il R and B. Questo approccio contribuì al successo enorme di Herman's Hermits a metà degli anni '60, ma limitò la loro creatività, relegando le canzoni originali di Noone, Hopwood, Leckenby e Green a B-side e brani per album. Il gruppo ha raggiunto il picco del successo con successi come "I'm Henry the Eighth, I Am", "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter" e "Can't You See". Herman's Hermits hanno continuato a registrare e esibirsi fino agli anni '70, mantenendo una base di fan fedele.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
