RATHBONE HOTEL
The Back-To-The-Roots Album [Liner Notes]
The songbook of a journey to the southwest of the U.S.A., recorded in the CBS Studios in London, produced functionally and efficiently, without gimmicks, by the former Genesis and Camel producer David Hitchcock. A compendium of basic rock music in the classic Improved style, at times drenched in mellotron, at times tequila flavoured, and enhanced with the singular colours of slide and pedal steel guitar.

Number One
Listen, girl, you´re just eighteen
And you don´t know much
So I don´t care at all if you fool around
I´m waiting here sipping on a beer
Biding my time
You don´t know that you are homeward bound
Everything´s just changed a bit,
It looks different now
I´m sitting back listening to my song
No one is to kick me around
So you´d better watch out
I´m sitting back feeling mighty strong
I don´t mind your being so bad , girl
I don´t mind your driving me mad, girl
As long as my record´s number one
I´m beating Elton John
Hard times, they just make me tough,
I´ve come a long way
It bothers me none if I have to wait
But don´t be sure perhaps it´s gonna be
The other way round
It´ll bother me none to tell you it´s too late
I don´t mind your being so bad , girl
I don´t mind your driving me mad, girl
As long as my record´s number one
I´m beating Elton John |
