Burdon, Eric - The Real Me Lyrics






I've been here a million years
You know who I am
Sing songs of joy and sorrow
I've not been a sham
I've been in ev'ry country, baby
I've been in ev'ry place
Millions have heard my music
But they really don't know my face

But, ah, this time the
Mirror man came to me
Showed me 'xactly what I wanted to see
I said it's fin'lly beginning to be
The way I want it to be, yeah, yeah
So when I come to your town this time
You're gonna see the real me

I've had my name in lights
I've known fortune and fame
But I have always felt that I was a
Lonely and lost faceless name
I searched for years and years
And finally this time

The face I present to you, baby
I said this time is gonna be mine
You see this time...

This time you're gonna see the real me

Burdon, Eric The Real Me Comments
  1. a.... c....

    Great rock album, Aalon butler kicks ass on guitar

  2. f.... e....

    Je me souviens avoir vu un clip de cette chanson à la télé Française peu après la sortie de l'album "Sun Secrets"... Il y avait aussi un clip de "Hollywood Woman".
    Où sont-ils ?

  3. m.... v....

    Not bad covering ? ; Royals : The real me
    Good version by Finnis group.

  4. d.... ....

    I am glad you posted this song... the first song on the first side. I went out and bought the cassette (remember those 3 & 3/4 ips things) after I saw the band perform on Don Kirshner's "In Concert" TV series. Sad to hear what has become of his fellow musicians. However, I have seen a video on Youtube with the bassist playing with Eric and Brian Auger's group in 1991. "Ring of Fire" from the same LP is also a great cut displaying Eric's versatility in covering a Johnny Cash standard.

  5. D.... R....

    @JulianThomePictures I knew Alvin out in Hollyweird in 1978. I was playing with Phil Seymour and had a demo-studio set up at Lil' Buddies rehearsal rooms at Hollyweird & Vine. He would come in before doing a session fo all kinds of people around L.A. I'd throw a track at him and he'd wail on it for a couple takes! He was incredible! But he might've had too-much fun. according the law. I hope he's alright!

  6. e.... ....

    How much time did he get? I used to know him very well. I was Eric's engineer during that era. Alvin was a virtuoso rock drummer. I have a lot of old Eric stuff wtih Alvin and Aalon that I will begin putting up on YT.

    e.... ....

    You still didnt upload anything from Eric..

  7. M.... G....

    I cant talk about the specifics but he will tell you it was the sex, drugs and rock and roll that got the best of him. Its a sad story.

  8. e.... ....

    Is that true about Alvin? What is he in for?

  9. M.... G....

    Alvin is locked up at the california rehabilitation center in norco ca. he looks real sucked up but he still rocks on the drums. He plays for the prison band.

  10. c.... ....

    Man this is a great album. Pity the versions of the animals songs aren't here...they kicked arse!

  11. M.... X....

    Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
