Nobody Knows I'm Elvis - Waylon Jennings






Well, I nearly got caught at a Burger King
And a couple of times on a plane
I thought I was safe from detection
With all of the weight I had gained.

But walking around in a jumpsuit
That didn't work worth a damn
So I bought me some Levi's and grew me a beard
And you'll never guess who I am.

Nobody knows I'm Elvis, nobody knows this is me
After all of my tries I've got the perfect disguise
And I'm who I want to be
Nobody knows I'm Elvis, nobody knows this is me.

Bet you thought I was ol' Waylon
With all of my rugged good looks
Swagger and walk, body and soul
I bet he had what it took.

I've always envied his singing
The way he played a guitar
Black vest and hat, that's where it's at
That's what I call a star.

Nobody knows I'm Elvis, nobody knows this is me
After all of my tries I've got the perfect disguise
And I'm who I want to be
Nobody knows I'm Elvis, nobody knows this is me.

I want to show you Graceland
Baby, that's where you ought to be
I'll give you a call but let's keep it all
Somewhere between you and me.

Nobody knows I'm Elvis, nobody knows this is me
After all of my tries I've got the perfect disguise
And I'm who I want to be
Nobody knows I'm Elvis, nobody knows this is me...



N.B. Non solo Waylon Jennings ed Elvis si conoscevano, ma la canzone Just Because You Ask Me Too è stata scritta proprio da questo artista country

[Lisa]

Con questa canzone ha voluto fare un po' lo spiritoso
Guardandolo e sentendogli dire "Nobody Knows I'm Elvis", gli direi "Eh...ne devi mangiare ancora di piatti di pasta, prima di diventare come Elvis!"

u2 a room at the heartbreak hotel



From where I stand
I can see thrugh you
From where you're sitting, pretty one
I know it got to you

I see the stars in your eyes
You want the truth, but you need the lies
Like Judy Garland, like Valentino
You give your life for rock n' roll
Uh huh

Stand, we're on a landslide of love
You got everything you want
But what you need you give away

For primitive love
And a ride on the mistery train
A primitive love
A room at the Heart...
The Heartbreak Hotel
A room at the Heartbreak
Heartbreak Hotel
A room at the Heartbreak
Heartbreak Hotel

You say it's love, it's not the money
You let them suck your life out like honey
Turning tricks, you're on the street
Selling your kisses so bittersweet

[Gospel voices]

A primitive love
A and a ride on the mistery train
A primitive love
A room at the Heart
The Heartbreak Hotel

A room at the Heartbreak, the Heartbreak,
The Heartbreak Hotel, Hotel

questa canzone nella lista "Fight The Power"-Public Enemy

non credo proprio sia un omaggio al king ma una critica razzista su di lui cantanta da due stronzetti
