HUEY LEWIS & THE NEWS - Jacob's Ladder (with lyrics)

LYRICS:
I met a fan dancer down in southside Birmingham She was running from a fat man
Selling salvation in his hand.
Now he's trying to save me
Well I'm doing all right the best that I can.
Just another fallen angel trying to get through the night.
Step by step one by one
higher and higher
Step by step rung by rung
I'm climbing Jacob's ladder.
Coming over the airwaves the man says
I'm overdue
Sing along send some money
join the chosen few.
Hey mister I'm not in a hurry
And I don't want to be like you
And all I want from tomorrow is to get it better than today.
Step by step one by one
higher and higher
Step by step rung by rung
I'm climbing Jacob's la dder .

All I want from tomorrow is to get it better than today.
Step by step one by one
higher and higher
Step by step rung by rung
climbing and climbing
Step by step one by one
step by step rung by rung
Step by step
Ohhhhhhhhh

Here we have a fine example of how a real band,playing like an one man band,defends live its studio material(and takes it farther)with musicianship,good songs,taste and hard work.Some self proclaimed today's"artists",specially in some genres,should take good note about what a real band/artist has to be like.Hard work and real artistry have neither substitutes nor shortcuts.

Greets to the YouTube comunity.

DELRELES.

I miss the 80's....now we are stuck with all this rap and hip hop crap! The 70's and 80's were real bands with real musicians using real instruments.....bands today are mostly broke and their music made from a computer.

@SubSlaveCD Fuck you!Hip-hop is a fucking art and I'm talking about 90s Hip-hop, not that bullshit after 2000.So fuck you, you aren't stuck in this shit we all are,but that's not hip hop.Oh and once again fuck you bitch ;)

2 people need to rehumanize themselves.

Should I ever have kids, they will grow up with music like Huey's... I don't want to start a discussion about the good old days, but some things were indeed better than today. Simpler, but so much closer to life and with a heart...
