Ian Bruce - The One That Made No. 1

Текст с Bandcamp’а: “THE ONE THAT MADE No. 1 (Ian M. Bruce) Open your eyes, yawn, stretch and rise As cascades of sunlight, they burst from the skies. Cool morning due encourages you To purposely find yourself nothing to do. That’s how it was when I picked up the pen. Doodled in the sun for an hour and then Before I knew I was engulfed with words. I plucked from the air and put into verse. There in my hand was a new song’s words And I strummed the guitar and there were the chords Next to arrive was the melody. How it fell into place was a mystery. CHORUS Now every damned night I have to sing that song Just cos it made no.1 I’d sing ’em something new but that would never do. They wanna hear the same old song. The One That Made No.1 Now a friend came by, I showed him my song. “Do it!“ he says, “It can’t go wrong!“ I argued then that it would never have sold But to prove me wrong my song went gold. CHORUS Hip hip hooray for that lazy old day When, to my surprise, I had something to say. That old song gave me money and fame. That’s why they say I shouldn’t complain. CHORUS from Too Far From She, released January 1, 1989“
