John Wesley Harding

John Wesley Harding - A Fan Speaks lyrics

Your rating:

I met Ray Davies in a Danish airport

Turned out to be a real nice guy

He said "Keep writing your songs, man

As long as you can"

And I think that was good advice

But actually he didn't quite say that

I added that word "man"

I'm just following his good words

But of course I'm a very big fan

And I was just trying to make this thing scan



I met many a famous person

I'm not gonna drop any names

Sure, I did mention Ray

When I started to play

But that's cos he is a credit to fame

Unlike a few I could mention

Who actually quite freaked me out

They treated me like I was one of those guys

Who carries a small gun about



   So congratulations to those of you

   Who feel the need to congratulate your heroes

   It may be tense for both of you

   But I'm sure they appreciate the gesture

   But commiserations to souls that are lost

   Who feel that murder is a way to get their love across

   Great god above keep the people we love

   From those merely seeking attention



Yes, I know what it's like to be bothered

And I know what it's like to be tired

But you gotta hide

In some kinda disguise

To be famous and yet be walked by

So, stars, watch your manners around me

You don't have to talk to me long

I may not pull a gun out on you

But I might write you into this song



   So, congratulations to those of you

   Who feel the need to congratulate your heroes

   If someone means a lot to you

   It surely rates a mention

   But commiserations to souls that are lost

   Who feel that killing is a way to get their love across

   Great God above, keep the stars that we love

   From those merely seeking attention
