In 1975 they would release their best album to date “Fool For The City”(in my opinion). This title track is just an example of rock and roll at it’s finest.
Dave Peverett (RIP 1943 – 2000) – lead vocals, guitar,
Rod Price (RIP 1947 – 2005) – guitar, slide guitar, vocals
Roger Earl – drums, percussion
Nick Jameson – bass guitar, vocals
Lyrics:
Goin’ to the city, got you on my mind
Country sure is pretty, I’ll leave it all behind
This is my decision
I’m comin’ home to stay this time
‘Cause I’m a fool for the city
I’m a fool for the city
Fool for the city
I’m a fool for the city
Breathin’ all the clean air, sittin’ in the sun
When I get my train fare, I’ll get up and run
I’m ready for the city
Air pollution, here I come
‘Cause I’m a fool for the city
I’m a fool for the city
I’m a fool for the city
I’m a fool for the city
I’m like a fish out of water, I’m just a man in a hole.
The city lights turn my blues into gold.
I ain’t no country boy
I’m just a homesick man
I’m gonna hit the grit
Just as fast as I can
I’m tired of layin’ back, hangin’ around,
I’m gonna catch that train, then I’ll be city bound.
I ain’t no country boy, I’m just a homesick man.
I’m gonna hit the grit just as fast as I can.
I’ll get off on Main Street, step into the crowd
Sidewalk under my feet, traffic’s good and loud
When I see my inner city, child
I’ll be walkin’ on a cloud
‘Cause I’m a fool for the city
I’m a fool for the city
I’m a fool for the city
I’m a fool for the city
I’m a fool for the city
I’m a fool for the city
I’m a fool for the city
haha good one Dan. thanks.
