Chicory Tip - Son of my Father 1972
Mama said to me
we gotta have your life run right
Off you got to school
where you can learn the rules there right
Be just like your dad lad
Follow in the same tradition
Never go astray and stay an honest lovin' son
Son of my father
Moulded, I was folded, I was preform-packed
Son of my father
Commanded, I was branded in a plastic vac'
Surrounded and confounded by statistic facts
(Instrumental)
Tried to let me in
but I jumped out of my skin in time
I saw through the lies
and read the alibi signs
So I left my home I'm really on my own at last
Left the trodden path
and separated from the past
Son of my father
Changing, rearranging into someone new
Son of my father
Collecting and selecting independant views
Knowing and I'm showing that a change is due.
Son of my father
moulded, I was folded, I was preform-packed
Son of my father
Commanded, I was branded in a plastic vac'
Surrounded and confounded by statistic facts

de la pop bien datée mais que l'on écoute encore avec plaisir

@GoonerAli Indeed :p I just wasn't sure and unfortunately it turned out to be that.

After the demise of the Beatles this is one of the greatest pop sounds that defined the rise of the 70s. Other examples that come to mind are the Fortunes- Storm in a Teacup and T Rex Hot Love. I knew it was a good track even as a child but listening to it again now I would say it it on par with some of the best pop songs ever written. WoW!!!!! Awesome.

@MagnusVideos I agree it's a good tune ! However, unless you download the lyrics, I doubt there is anybody listening, who has the slightest idea what this guy is actually singing about.
