Rick Springfield - Baker Street Lyrics






Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head, and dead on your feet
Well another crazy day
You drink the night away
And forget about everything
This city desert makes you feel so cold,
Its got so many people but its got no soul
And it's taken you so long to find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything

You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you're tryin', you're tryin' now
Another year and then you'd be happy
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
But you're cryin', you're cryin' now

Way down the street there's a light in his place
He opens the door
He's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything
He's got this dream about buyin' some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
And then he'll settle down
It's a quiet little town
And forget about everything
But you know he'll always keep movin'
You know he's never gonna stop movin'
'Cause he's rollin'
He's the rolling stone
And when you wake up it's a new mornin'
The sun is shining it's a new mornin'
And you're going, you're going home

Rick Springfield Baker Street Comments
  1. F.... S....

    just had a saxazim

  2. D.... T....

    BETTER SINGER THAN PEOPLE GAVE HIM CREDIT FOR

  3. J.... ....

    The guitarist didn't do the solo right.

  4. A.... F....

    that crowd sucks

  5. D.... ....

    Love Rick Springfield!! 😍

  6. P.... F....

    Personally, I could have done without Rick pretending to play the guitar solo (if you watch closely & listen, his guitar isn't even turned up) and his pogo-nu-metal stage presence. And the *actual* guitarist absolutely ruined one of the most iconic leads in Rock'n'Roll guitar solo history.

  7. M.... K....

    Amazing remake! Whole show on my DVD is amazing!

  8. T.... C....

    Fantastic!

  9. J.... M....

    Sax kicked ass!

  10. J.... M....

    Greatest Baker Street cover.! the sax rocked!

    J.... M....

    Check out foo fighters cover. No sax but Gerry wrote originally for guitar

    J.... M....

    Have that one on my playlist also. No objections to it, but the sax makes the song in my opinion. 👍

  11. j.... ....

    Nice rendition. The hyperactive camerawork and video edits are distracting.

  12. g.... ....

    Best cover of this song I ever seen. Congratulations.

  13. E.... C....

    Very cool cover!!!!

  14. A.... B....

    He is great. usually the drummer stood out in the original.

  15. B.... G....

    Solo was woeful

  16. C.... C....

    The guitar solo is really weak. The Foo Fighters version is 100x better!

  17. t.... ....

    I've always felt like a 70s music elitist because of my love of Gerry Rafferty and the Pousette-Dart Band but I am so glad to see Rick Springfield unleash the awesomeness out on his fan! GR was awesome and taken well before his time.

  18. C.... O....

    C'est une bonne reprise de Gerry Rafferty. 👏et merci Rick .

  19. A.... 6....

    My God that sax player fucking hit a home run. Incredible.

  20. J.... K....

    Wow, what a cover! It sounds so much dirtier on tenor sax than it did on alto. I'm impressed.

  21. j.... m....

    I love Rick's vocal but that sax is flat.

  22. P.... S....

    He good do the Hollywood bowl easy!!! Damn it.Do it!!!
    Lets make some money,
    And give the People what they need

  23. P.... S....

    He's better now2018.somebody get that man a agent with big dreams.
    Stage presence ,he's got it.

  24. K.... R....

    It takes a very brave and very confident musician to take such an iconic tune as "Baker Street" and weave his own soul into it. Rick's version is edgier, dwelling less on the introspective and more the (auto)biographical. He nails it and makes it his own. Anyone who believes this gentleman is not a formidable presence in rock needs to go back to the beginning; only then will you understand where he is coming from. Great video, rsscott963! Thank you!

    K.... R....

    You're welcome. If you like blues, check out Rick's version of Red House

  25. F.... A....

    Great rendition. Smartly close to the original, 'cause a classic like this one is difficult to change bringing something better

  26. M.... C....

    Pedaso de cancion desde mexico cancun ooooo chingon

  27. R.... S....

    oh SHITTTTT, he is swinging his arms, watch out for the lights Rik

  28. M.... K....

    Well done, Rick!

  29. G.... M....

    Some songs should be left alone......

  30. A.... O....

    No lo se Rick.... :v

  31. P.... F....

    I love Rafferty’s original, but this is a great cover of it.

    P.... F....

    This is live , can't find a live version by Mr Raffity

  32. S.... S....

    There should be a law in place that stops people from butchering and murdering classic tunes like Baker Street. FFS show some respect and leave well alone.

    S.... S....

    NO - You got it completely wrong!!!!!!!! The law should be stopping superior, self centred, people like you ,coming to view videos you know you won't like, and leave the fans of these artists in peace, from such aggressive comments as yours

    S.... S....

    Stid Starz
    : The ratings of this video seem to disagree with you. Show some respect and get the fuck outta here.

  33. A.... A....

    Super,....

  34. f.... ....

    Great, great version. Thumbs up to you, Rick!!!

  35. C.... M....

    great song go rick

  36. L.... K....

    i love the song

  37. v.... ....

    pretty good cover, but my personal favorite is still the version undercover did of this song

    v.... ....

    So you like the gay version? That's cool.

  38. C.... C....

    completely butchered the guitared solo but rick sounded good

    C.... C....

    I was gonna say the same thing, Cam. Overall, it's a good cover, but dude should have stayed faithful to Hugh Burns's original solo.

    C.... C....

    To grgoldner: No kidding? Rick fired him?

    C.... C....

    Guitar solo was fine

    C.... C....

    The majority feel it sucked, dude. You're out-voted.

    C.... C....

    @grgoldner Can you prove this? Or are you just talking out of your ass?

  39. t.... ....

    Que de souvenirs ........ Merci infiniment !

  40. D.... T....

    this was fucking awesome !

    D.... T....

    Darth Teabagger I happen to like the songs that rick plays /performs but for pitty sake stop all this God darn dirogitory nonsense !Rhonda Bienes

  41. W.... S....

    man that was fucking great better than Foo Fighters

  42. W.... S....

    like the drum beat in this version

  43. W.... S....

    great job

  44. S.... A....

    LIKE THIS VERSION JUST BECAUSE IT'S RICK. THIS SONG WAS IN THE SOUNDTRACK OF THE 80'S FILM THE LOST BOYS.. I LIKE ALL HIM DID....

  45. l.... p....

    Awesome job Rick!!!!!

  46. K.... ....

    Bravo, Rick!

  47. J.... H....

    I have his this rockford dvd Super live dvd. Fantastic vioce

    J.... H....

    Me also! Rockin in Rockford!

  48. D.... B....

    He's got cool voice. Rick Springfield do more remakes!!!!

  49. J.... S....

    stop pointing at people an sing the song ffs

    J.... S....

    Springfield is such a poser! And the lead guitar is pathetically weak. If it wasn't for the sax player doing yeoman's work, this whole thing would have collapsed onto itself.

  50. J.... G....

    I didn't know Rick Springfield covered Baker Street.

  51. A.... S....

    I love this. Great cover of an all time classic

  52. J.... M....

    The video-audio version that is. I can find the audio versions and they are great, but I want to see Gerry sing it live. If you know where I can find it, please let me know.

    J.... M....

    tell me too please

  53. J.... M....

    I like it. The authentic live version of Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty is not found by my searches. All the live German versions are lip-syncs.

  54. T.... D....

    I'm a Rafferty fan but this desrves more than1958 hits

  55. T.... M....

    Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!

  56. L.... ....

    I didn't used to like this song, but I do when Rick sings it!

    L.... ....

    LightSnowOvernight He sings it so well. He has a Beautiful voice.
