Dear Landlord Songtext
von Joe Cocker

Oh dear landlord
Please hear these words that I speak
Oh, I know that you have suffered
But you are not so unique

When that old steamboat whistle blows
I′ll give you all I got to give
And I hope you receive it well
Depending on the way you feel that you live, my brother

Hey, dear landlord
Please don't put a price on my soul
Oh and if I do, I do
Is about to lose my control


All of us at times we might work too hard
To have it too fast and too much
But anyone can understand things
He can feel but he just can′t touch
I'll be here
Oh you'd better get out here

Yeah, dear landlord
Please don′t dismiss my case
Don′t you know I'm not about to argue
Or move to no other place

Each of us has his own special gift
And you know help was meant to be
So if you don′t underestimate me
I swear you won't underestimate me
Get ′em on guitar, baby
Oh won't leave my head

Oh, my landlord
Dear landlord, oh no
