Baker Street by Jerry Rafferty

There was a thread on Songfacts about this song not long ago and I was hoping I could somehow share a photo interpretation I had made of that song about a year ago. Now this forum has begun, so here is my photo:

Winding your way down on Baker Street

Light in your head, and dead on your feet

Well another crazy day

You drink the night away

And forget about everything

I had always thought of that song everytime I walked past this hill that leads down to little houses. Early one Saturday evening I walked past with my camera and here came these young men. Coming up for Saturday night, as they do every week. Hoping to meet young ladies, maybe settle down, to maybe buy some land .... but will probably just go back down the hill, alone, staggering drunk, in about 6 more hours.

He's got this dream about buyin' some land

He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands

And then he'll settle down

It's a quiet little town

And forget about everything

Awesome song!! Man this is another for the One hit wonders thread I started a few days ago. I do like the Foo Fighters cover of the song. Very Appropriate for them to cover...

:coolio:

Not really a one-hit wonder, if you count his previous hit, "Stuck In The Middle With You" (as Stealer's Wheel :headphones: )
