Well everybody knows down ladbrook grove
You have to leap across the street
You can lose your life under a taxi cab
You gotta have eyes in your feet
You find a nice soft corner and you sit right down
Take up your guitar and play
But then the law man comes says move along
So you move along all day
Well I'm a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
With my one man band
For three days now I haven't eaten at all
My my you must be getting so thin
And soon my cap won't be large enough
To drop a half a crown in
So hey there mister don't you look so sad
Don't look so I'll at ease
Well I can play you any song you like
To cheer up that life you lead
Well I'm a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
With my one man band
And oh oh oh look at the rain falling
Oh oh oh look at it rain
Oh look at it rain
Well nobody sees the minstrel boy as he sings his tale of woe
Nobody sees him coming
Nobody see him go
So hey there mister don't you look so sad
Don't look so I'll at ease
Well I can play you any song you like
To cheer up that life you lead
Well I'm a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
With my one man band
Well I'm a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
With my one man band
Oh I'm a one man band
Just a one man band
Oh I'm a one man band

Leo Sayer, nato Herbert Arthur Sayer il 21 maggio 1948 a Harrow, Londra, è un cantautore britannico di grande successo negli anni '70 e '80. Iniziò la sua carriera come musicista di strada prima di essere notato da un produttore discografico. Il suo stile musicale si caratterizza per una combinazione di pop, rock e soul, con testi spesso introspettivi e melodie orecchiabili. Tra i suoi brani più famosi figurano "When I Need You", "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" e "More Than I Can Say". Sayer ha venduto milioni di dischi in tutto il mondo e ha vinto numerosi premi, tra cui un BRIT Award nel 1978. Dopo una pausa negli anni '90, è tornato a incidere musica e a esibirsi dal vivo con successo.

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
