He's the king of the road
The old man, the child
The joker runnin' wild, makin' it funny
He's of no fixed abode
When he carries the load
He'll do anything he can to make it funny
But he'll never say die
If he's livin' a lie
Pick up his hat and go
If there's reason to cry
He'll just make it a sigh
And wander on down the road
He's a natural friend
With the money to lend
Or whatever it takes to turn you on, too
He's the father, the son
He don't owe anyone
All his debts are all paid
With his confection
Then he'll wander away
With no time in his way
Pick up his hat and go
He'll never say die
If he's livin' a lie
Just wander on down the road
Wander on down the road
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]
And he'll wander away
With no time in his way
Pick up his hat and go
He never said die
He was livin' a lie
Just wandered on down the road
Wandered on down the road
Wandered on down the road
Ahhhhh
Mmmmmmmmm
Ahhhhh.
The lyrics KIND OF THE LOAD of BADFINGER is also present in the album Wish you were here (1974)
Badfinger è stata una rock band britannica attiva tra gli anni '60 e '70, nota per il suo sound power pop influenzato dal Merseybeat e dalla musica psichedelica. Formatasi a Liverpool nel 1967 come The Iveys, il gruppo cambiò nome in Badfinger nel 1968 dopo aver firmato con la Apple Records di Paul McCartney. Il loro successo arrivò con l'album "No Dice" del 1970, che conteneva il singolo "Day After Day", una delle canzoni più famose della band. Altri successi includono "Come and Get It", scritta da Paul McCartney e incisa come primo singolo del gruppo, e "Baby Blue", diventata un classico del rock. Purtroppo, la storia di Badfinger è segnata da tragedie: due membri del gruppo si suicidarono a causa della pressione derivante dalla gestione disastrosa dell'epoca. Nonostante le difficoltà, Badfinger ha lasciato un'importante eredità musicale, influenzando generazioni di artisti power pop.

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.
