Joni Mitchell - Free man in paris слова песни
FREE MAN IN PARIS
"The way I see it," he said
"You just can`t win it...
Everybody`s in it for their own gain
You can`t please `em all
There`s always somebody calling you down
I do my best
And I do good business
There`s a lot of people asking for my time
They`re trying to get ahead
They`re trying to be a good friend of mine
I was a free man in Paris
I felt unfettered and alive
There was nobody calling me up for favors
And no one`s future to decide
You know I`d go back there tomorrow
But for the work I`ve taken on
Stoking the star maker machinery
Behind the popular song
I deal in dreamers
And telephone screamers
Lately I wonder what I do it for
If l had my way
I`d just walk through those doors
And wander
Down the Champs Elysees
Going cafe to cabaret
Thinking how I`ll feel when I find
That very good friend of mine
I was a free man in Paris
I felt unfettered and alive
Nobody was calling me up for favors
No one`s future to decide
You know I`d go back there tomorrow
But for the work I`ve taken on
Stoking the star maker machinery
Behind the popular song."
