Lyrics
I AM THE BAND © lah 1997 See the smoky bar on Paddington Street See the shiny people, staring at me I inhale beery perfume Glance at my watch Put on my groove They’re looking at me I’m looking at them I am the Band See me close my eyes, to find another stage Fans come round for the sound, not to get laid Then I hear yells for “one more round” Open my eyes, See sweat dripping down Rowdy requests come from a clown To me in the Band CHORUS: They see me smile through the night Feed my kid and placate my life Oh it’s not me here that you’d see there Never believing The secret I hide is the music those fools don’t buy It’s not me here that you’d see there One day with no fear In that tiny bar on Paddington Street folks say I’m gifted and lovely to meet Then they reach out for the mic Singing covers they know all night Bartender smiles We’re paying the bills I am the Band
