'A BAR TOO SOON' by Victor Kinsman ©
(Gerry Rafferty’s Blue’s) ( From his ‘Blue Planet Blues’ Album )
Intro. “Life is like music, a beautiful gift
So play it as best and as long as you can”
(1) You can take the boy out of X S City
You can make that poor boy fly
You can make his life so rich and pretty
But you’ll find as time goes by
You can take the boy out of the city
But you can’t take the city from the boy
(2) You can travel down to London town
All the way to ‘Baker Street’
Just to find your still ‘Stuck in the Middle’
Trying to stay on your feet
Singing songs of how it feels
Running in that hamsters wheel
(Chorus)
From bar to bar, from the rising of the moon
The ‘Night Owl’ sang his song that ended
Just a just a bar too soon
From bar to bar, with a guitar and a tune
The minstrel sang his song that ended just a bar to soon
(3) Now you can you make it big, but life is rigged
The Joker loves to steal success
He can take you down with all those clowns
Take you back to old XS
Remember ‘Right down the Line’
And try to ‘Get it right next time’
(4) You can take the boy out of X S City
You can make that poor boy fly
You can make his life so rich and pretty
But you’ll find as time goes by
You can take the boy out of the city
But you can’t take the city from the boy
(Chorus)
