Song language: English
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 favours |
| 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-Élysées |
| Going café 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 favours |
| 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 |
