Gerry Rafferty Lyrics
The classic pop song had no greater ambassador throughout
the 1970s than Gerry Rafferty.
Ironically the greatest charge to his work was when he was
battling the music business - the innate fire and passion
of the Scotsman pouring forth on the cool, manipulative
machinations of the record industry in London; it was a
classic 'city to city' confrontation, a fact which he
readily acknowledged in the title of his most successful
album.
But if Gerry Rafferty was often his own worst enemy then
the beneficiaries were a growing army of More...

Review about Gerry Rafferty songs
Financial Peace | Reviewer: CJ
------ About the song Baker Street performed by Gerry RaffertyThis song plays as the into to Dave Ramsey's radio program. He himself was in bad strights and figured out how to get out. It makes me sad because I am trying hard to get out of my mess and then I hear this song played by a guy who's been there but from the other side.
Telling my life with his song | Reviewer: Jim Placzek
------ About the song The Ark performed by Gerry RaffertyIn 1966 I walked down to the harbour in Montreal and found four ships ready to sail and needing crew. I wanted to go to Europe, but none were going there, so I took a Danish ship to Australia. Spent eight years in Asia and made a career of studying Southeast Asia. I want this song sung at my funeral.
Genius | Reviewer: Fro
------ About the song Big Change in the Weather performed by Gerry RaffertyWhen I first heard this, I assumed it was about one of his exes, and comparing their actions to a 'change in the weather'. It seemed rather shallow and repetitive after the first time, but then I realized something: it's not comparing his ex to the weather, he's comparing the weather to an ex!
He's singing about the first rain after a long period of nice weather. When he says "I knew you'd spit it out some day", mentions that he was expecting the weather to spit out rain eventually. The whole thing is an extended metaphor in reverse.
Gerry you genius
Such a sad song... | Reviewer: Andy Tong
------ About the song Baker Street performed by Gerry RaffertyI was eight when this song came out and, as someone else said above, the words made me feel sad even though I loved the song. They still make me sad to this day. For me these lyrics carry a sense of great loss and loneliness.
All of us | Reviewer: Estle
------ About the song Baker Street performed by Gerry RaffertyNo wonder we love it. It's a great song about all of us. Baker street is every street and road. It's about every dream, every failure, every addiction we want to be free from but can't seem to live without, and every candid talk with a friend. The home we go to at nght and the one we dream of some place better than where we are. The hope for a better day tomorrow. So we keep going on, rolling stones, longing for a better home in a quiet, peace'full place. Thank GOD it's waiting for me and I'm not alone. Thanks for putting it to music Gerry.
Brings about many emotions | Reviewer: Paulsgal
------ About the song Baker Street performed by Gerry RaffertyMy mother played this song on a 45 many times over during my childhood. I didn't know or understand the lyrics but it made me feel sadness but I still liked it. I lost the love of my life to a battle with alcohol. Truly alcohol destroys lives. It took his and left mine full of heartache. This song reminds me of him and all who suffer with this battle. Thank you Gerry for your honest emotion stirring lyrics. I know you are resting in peace.
Makes me want to drink! | Reviewer: Finnbar Owens
------ About the song Baker Street performed by Gerry RaffertyGive up the booze and the one night stands, says it all surely. I think Rafferty was writing about himself. After all, he did eventually accept his alcoholism and tried to settle down, " In Ireland of all places ".
Underrated | Reviewer: Harry Casper
------ About the song Mattie's Rag performed by Gerry RaffertyBaker Street and Right Down The Line hog all the attention, thanks mainly to all too typically mercilessly repetitious radio, but Mattie's Rag, written for his then-seven-year-old daughter Martha, is not only the best City To City song, it's Gerry Rafferty's best song ever.
Angels be with him | Reviewer: Sanya
------ About the song Baker Street performed by Gerry RaffertyWhatever demons he wrestled with, only he knew them well. We all come from different places, some of us carry a heavy baggage. To be able to express the pain of your very soul the way he did, it takes bravery and talent. May he rest in peace, since he could not find a heaven here....
My take on Gerry Rafferty's "Get It Right Next Time" | Reviewer: Phil Johnson
------ About the song Get It Right Next Time performed by Gerry RaffertyI read recently that someone thought that Gerry Rafferty was a "one hit wonder" because she had only heard "Baker Street". It is so very unfortunate that the late great Mr. Rafferty didn't want to tour in the US, and most of his music wasn't played on the radio here. "Get it right next time" is one of my favorites. It would well be worth anyone's time to check out the plethora of his music. I think it's all fantastic, and I wish he was still with us.
