ROOM WITH A VIEW
As sung by Tony Carey on "Live in Sweden 2006 Volume 1" (2007)

Well, he used to be a tailor, sewed those suits so fine,
And he never heard of failure and he never tasted wine.
He used to be a leader when he had someone to lead,
And he used to be a father when he had some mouths to feed,
When he had some mouths to feed.

And they say it never rains in L A County.
It gets cold enough to wish you had a few;
And he laughs tonight, says, "I finally found me
A room with a view,
Room with a view,
Room with a view.
How 'bout you?"

He was living in a castle that he built with his own hands
Out of newspaper and cardboard; he was living off the land.
He was living off the land.
He was living off the land;
And they say it never rains in L A County.
It gets cold enough to wish you had a few,
And he laughs tonight and says, "I finally found me
A room with a view.
Oh, how 'bout you?
Oh, how about you?
How 'bout you?"
