Harum Procol – Seem To Have The Blues Most All The Time lyrics

(brooker / reid)*

The landlord's knocking on my door, he says he wants the rent
I'm sitting in the kitchen wondering where the money's spent
A whole lot of people treating me unkind
I seem to have the blues most all the time

I'm lying in my bed hatching million-dollar schemes
The cops are using radar trying to intercept my dreams
A whole lot of people treating me unkind
I seem to have the blues most all the time

I went to get a job ?cos I badly needed the pay
I got a warm reception: they said ?bum! go away!?
A whole lot of people treating me unkind
I seem to have the blues most all the time

Well I owed a lot of money; I was weak and easily led
I tried to rob a bank: the cashier shot me dead
A whole lot of people treating me unkind
But it don't matter now, ?cos I got peace of mind
Nothing matters now ?cos I got peace of mind.
