Yes it's back on the road again
I just got me some new-found friends
And it's alright, yeah it's alright.
Flew away at the speed of sound
I threw up when we touched down
But I'm alright, I'll be alright.
New York's bakin' in the sun
Got the news it just made number one
Here we go for one more memory
Way back here in the twentieth century.
That night in Amsterdam
You saw me for what I am
And you found out, yeah you found me out.
And I knew what I saw in you
And I still can't believe it's true
But I'll find out, I'm gonna find out.
Meanwhile back down on Fifth Avenue
Raphael just bought some brand new shoes
Me, I'm wiped out, I'm dead on my feet
Come a long long way from Baker Street.
I'm watchin' a night come down
And we're headin' for one more town
But it's alright, yeah it's alright.
Who cares what the night might bring
Cause we're ready for anything
So it's alright, yeah it's alright.
Heading' out across the U.S.A.
California's still a long long way
Here we go for one more memory
Way back here in the twentieth century.

Gerry Rafferty (1947-2011) è stato un cantautore e chitarrista scozzese, noto per il suo stile folk rock influenzato dal blues. Cresciuto a Paisley, in Scozia, Rafferty iniziò la sua carriera musicale negli anni '60 con i gruppi The Humblebums e Stealers Wheel. Con quest'ultimo ottenne un grande successo internazionale nel 1973 con il singolo "Stuck in the Middle with You", che divenne un classico del rock. Dopo lo scioglimento dei Stealers Wheel, Rafferty intraprese una carriera da solista di grande successo, pubblicando album come "City to City" (1978) e "Right Down the Line" (1980), entrambi caratterizzati da melodie orecchiabili e testi introspettivi. Il suo brano più famoso è probabilmente "Baker Street", un singolo del 1978 che raggiunse la vetta delle classifiche in molti paesi, grazie anche al celebre assolo di saxofono. Rafferty ha continuato a registrare musica fino alla fine degli anni '90, pur non raggiungendo più i successi commerciali dei suoi primi anni. È morto nel 2011 all'età di 63 anni.

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
