The girl's got no confidence


She's got the cool look, she's got the money man
She's got the diamonds, she's even got the suntan
But she's a bright girl, she's got a law degree
She pioneered the introduction of the CD.

When she was young she read the Gurdjieff books
The wisdom blew her away
She's got the money, got good looks
But the girl's got no confidence
No the girl girl girl sweet girl
The girl's got no confidence.

She went to Berkley, did primal therapy
She wrote the music for a series on the TV
She studied Rumi and Ibn'Arabi
She meditated every summer in a teepee.

But no religion's gonna tie her down
She loves her beautiful clothes
She's sittin' pretty livin' way up town
But the girl, the girl's got no confidence
No the girl girl girl sweet girl
The girl's got no confidence.

Little by little she got heavy round the middle
She wore a silk kimono when the sun went down
She wrote to her mother and she took another lover
She gets a little lonely when the sun goes down.

She's got the cool look, she's got the money man
She's got the diamonds, she's even got the suntan
But she's a bright girl, she's got a law degree
She pioneered the introduction of the CD.

When she was young she read the Gurdjieff books
The wisdom blew her away
She's got the money, she's got good looks
But the girl, the girl's got no confidence
No the girl, the girl's got no confidence
No the girl girl girl sweet girl
The girl's got no confidence
No the girl girl girl sweet girl
The girl's got no confidence.

Biografia

Gerry Rafferty (1947-2011) was a Scottish singer-songwriter and guitarist known for his folk rock style influenced by blues. Born in Paisley, Scotland, Rafferty began his musical career in the 1960s with the groups The Humblebums and Stealers Wheel. With the latter, he achieved international success in 1973 with the single "Stuck in the Middle with You", which became a rock classic. After the dissolution of Stealers Wheel, Rafferty embarked on a successful solo career, releasing albums such as "City to City" (1978) and "Right Down the Line" (1980), both characterized by catchy melodies and introspective lyrics. His most famous song is probably "Baker Street", a 1978 single that topped the charts in many countries thanks also to the famous saxophone solo. Rafferty continued to record music until the late 1990s, although he never reached the commercial success of his early years. He died in 2011 at the age of 63.
