Manfred Mann - Another Kind of Music Lyrics

He shakes his head and sings the blues
And everybody loves him
It's not the way he wants to play
He does it for the living

He's chased by girls for autographs
He smiles and signs so gladly
But when he finally reaches home
He climbs the stairs so sadly

'Cause he wants to play another way
Another kind of music
Although he enjoys his pop success
He's in love with classical music

He's always in the public's eye
His pictures fill the papers
But no one knows just how he feels
As he cuts his chronical capers

His records sell extremely well
But does he really want it
He plays the clubs and one night stands
But longs to play a concert

'Cause he wants to play another way
Another kind of music
Although he enjoys his pop success
He's in love with classical music

He plays the clubs and one night stands
But longs to play a concert

'Cause he wants to play another way
Another kind of music
Although he enjoys his pop success
He's in love with classical music
