SOTD #127

Today’s song is Man Of The World by Fleetwood Mac

Shall I tell you about my life
They say I’m a man of the world
I’ve flown across every tide
And I’ve seen lots of pretty girls

I guess I’ve got everything I need
I wouldn’t ask for more
And there’s no one I’d rather be
But I just wish that I’d never been born

And I need a good woman
To make me feel like a good man should
I don’t say I’m a good man
Oh, but I would be if I could

I could tell you about my life
And keep you amused I’m sure
About all the times I’ve cried
And how I don’t want to be sad anymore

And how I wish I was in love

Before they became the stadium-bestriding, drink-fuelled, drug-addled behemoth that they became in the Buckingham / Nicks / McVie years, Fleetwood Mac were a tight little blues unit. This Peter Green song is perhaps the best thing that they ever produced, with it’s stripped down guitar accompaniment and it’s mournful lyric.

@Gareth
D’oh! Thanks for pointing that out - I’ve changed the titles.

Thanks, too, for highlighting the problem with the comments. I’m looking into it and will update this post with what I find out.
