baker street

one of gerry rafferty's most famous songs (see: right down the line)

my favorite lines go like this:
well another crazy day, you'll drink the night away
and forget about everything.
this city desert makes you feel so cold
it's got so many people but it's got no soul
and it's taken you so long to find out you were wrong
when you thought it held everything.

it's also reportedly the inspiration for slash's epic solo in sweet child o' mine, according to slash himself.
