The Free Electric Band - Albert Hammond[00:00:00]
Written by: Albert Hammond/Michael Hazelwood[00:00:02]
My father is a doctor he's a family man[00:00:10]
My mother works for charity[00:00:15]
Whenever she can[00:00:17]
They're both good clean americans[00:00:20]
Who abide by the law[00:00:22]
And they both stick up for liberty[00:00:24]
And they both support the war[00:00:27]
My happiness was paid for when[00:00:29]
They laid their money down[00:00:32]
For summers in a summer camp[00:00:34]
And winters in the town[00:00:37]
My future in the system[00:00:39]
Was talked about and planned[00:00:41]
But I gave it up for music[00:00:44]
And the free electric band[00:00:46]
I went to school in handwashed[00:00:57]
Shirts with neatly ordered hair[00:00:59]
And the school was big and newly built[00:01:02]
And filled with light and air[00:01:05]
And the teachers taught us values that[00:01:07]
We had to learn to keep[00:01:10]
And they'd clip the ear of any idle kid[00:01:12]
Who went to sleep[00:01:15]
My father organised for me a college in the east[00:01:17]
But I went to california[00:01:22]
The sunshine and the beach[00:01:24]
My parents[00:01:27]
And my lecturers could never understand[00:01:27]
Why I gave it up for music[00:01:32]
And the free electric band[00:01:34]
Well they used to sit[00:01:40]
And speculate upon their son's career[00:01:41]
A lawyer or a doctor or a civil engineer[00:01:45]
Just give me bread[00:01:50]
And water[00:01:51]
Put a guitar in my hand[00:01:52]
Cos all I need is music[00:01:55]
And the free electric band[00:01:57]
My father sent me money[00:02:08]
And I spent it very fast[00:02:10]
On a girl I met in berkeley[00:02:13]
In a social science class[00:02:15]
Yes and we learnt about her body[00:02:17]
But her mind we didn't know[00:02:20]
Until deep rooted attitudes[00:02:22]
And morals began to show[00:02:25]
She wanted to get married even though[00:02:27]
She never said[00:02:30]
But I knew her well enough[00:02:32]
By now to see inside her head[00:02:34]
She'd settle for suburbia[00:02:37]
And a little patch of land[00:02:39]
So I gave her up for music[00:02:42]
And the free electric band[00:02:44]
Ooh the free electric band[00:02:52]
So I gave her up for music[00:02:55]
And the free electric band[00:02:57]
So I gave her up for music[00:03:00]
And the free electric band[00:03:02]
So I gave her up for music[00:03:04]
And the free electric band[00:03:07]
So I gave her up for music[00:03:09]
And the free electric band[00:03:12]
So I gave her up for music[00:03:14]
And the free electric band[00:03:16]
So I gave her up for music[00:03:19]
