Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street
Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well another crazy day, you'll drink the night away
And forget about everything.
This city desert makes you feel so cold
It's got so many people but it's got no soul
And it's taken you so long to find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything.
You used to think that it was so easy,
You used to say that it was so easy
But you're tryin', you're tryin' now.
Another year and then you'd be happy
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
But you're cryin', you're cryin' now.
Way down the street there's a light in his place
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been, you tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything.
He's got this dream about buyin' some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
And then he'll settle down, in some quiet little town
And forget about everything.
But you know he'll always keep movin'
You know he's never gonna stop movin'
Cause he's rollin', he's the rollin' stone.
And when you wake up it's a new morning
The sun is shining, it's a new morning
But you're going, you're going home.

Gerry Rafferty - The Ark
From the "City to City" album - 1978
The Ark
------Gerry Rafferty
See the dark night has come down on us
The world is livin in its dream
But now we know that we can wake up from this sleep
And set out on the journey
Find a ship to take us on the way.
The time has come to trust that guiding light
And leavin all the rest behind
Well take the road that leads down to the waterside
And set out on the journey
Find a ship to take us on the way.
And well sail out on the water
Yes well feel the sea grow
Yes well meet out on the water
Where are all strangers are known.
If you travel blindly, if you fall
The truth is there to set you free
And when your heart can see just one thing in this life
Well set out on the journey
Find a ship to take us on the way.
And well sail out on the water
Yes well feel the sea grow
Yes well meet out on the water
Where are all strangers are known.
See the dark night has come down on us
The world is livin in its dream
But now we know that we can wake up from this sleep
And set out on the journey
Find a ship to take us on the way.
And well sail out on the water
Yes well feel the sea grow
Yes well meet out on the water
Where are all strangers are known.

Song originally by Gerry Rafferty
B-Side from ''My Hero'' 1998 also on The Colour and the Shape 10th Anniversary Edition
winding you way down on baker street
light in your head and dead on your feet
well another crazy day
you'll drink the night away
and forget about everything
this city's dance makes you feel so cold
it's got so many people that it's got no soul
and its taking you so long
to find out you were wrong
when you thought it held everything
you used to think that it was so easy
you used to say that it was so easy
but you're trying, you're trying now
another year and then you'll be happy
just one more year and then you'll be happy
but you're crying, you're crying now
way down the street there's a lad in his place
he opens the door
and he's got that look on his face
and he asks you were you've been
you tell him who you've seen
and you talk about everything
he's got this dream about buying some land
he's gonna give up the crack and the one night stands
and then he'll settle down
in some quiet little town
and forget about everything
but you know he'll always keep moving
you know he's never gonna stop moving
cause he's rolling, he's a rolling stone
when you wake up it's a new morning
the sun is shining it's a new morning
you're going, your going' home
Thanks for all the Foo Fighters movies everyone!

BY REQUEST ... Thanks Jim for reminding me how good Gerry Rafferty is. Peace bro.
Kate Winslet is best known for her role in the movie "Titanic" starring opposite Leonardo DiCaprio. Very talented and beautiful, and I just love her voice . :)
In his early years, Gerry Rafferty earned money by the formerly illegal practice of busking on the London Underground. Poetically, his biggest hit "Baker Street" was about busking at a tube station. After working with Billy Connolly (now better known as a comedian) in a band called the Humblebums, he recorded a first solo album, Can I Have My Money Back.
In 1972 Rafferty and his old school friend Joe Egan formed Stealers Wheel, a group beset by legal wranglings but which did have a huge hit "Stuck in the Middle With You" (made famous for a new generation in the movie Reservoir Dogs) and the smaller top 40 hit "Star" ten months later. The duo disbanded in 1975.
In 1978, Gerry Rafferty cut a solo album, City to City, which included the song with which he remains most identified, "Baker Street". The single reached No. 3 in the UK and No. 2 in the U.S. The album sold over 5.5 million copies, toppling the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack in the U.S. on 8 July 1978. Even today, "Baker Street", which features a "glistening" saxophone solo by Raphael Ravenscroft, remains a mainstay of soft-rock radio airplay. Another song from the City to City album, "Right Down the Line," also continues to receive copious radio airplay. "Home and Dry" managed a top 30 spot. One of the more obscure tracks from that time is "Big Change in the Weather" (the B-side of "Baker Street")
This is off City To City and is called "Island". A beautiful song for a beautiful woman.
