Phil Collins - The Man With The Horn.


They come from miles around just to hear him play
He's on the same street corner almost every day
And there's always a crowd wherever he goes
And when he blows his horn, well everybody knows

I only wanna see him play
All the girls 'n' boys they wanna see him play
Nobody else they wanna see him play
And he brings a tear to the eye
He'll make you smile or make you cry
And nobody asks him why
Cos they just wanna see him play

They come from every"WHERE", every night
He's got a band so out there, it's outta sight
And the boys in the dancehall are rocking in the aisle
The girls up front - they wanna see him smile

I only wanna see him play
All the girls 'n' boys they wanna see him play
Nobody else they wanna see him play
And he brings "SOME TEARS" to the eye
He'll make you "LAUGH OR" make you cry
Ooh, nobody asks him why
Cos they just wanna see him play

Yeah, he's the man with the horn
Ooh they wanna see him play
Yeah, he's the man with the horn
Ooh they wanna see him play
Yeah, he's the man with the horn
You know they wanna see him, they wanna see him
They wanna, they wanna, they wanna see him play

(Play it, Don!)

Ah, station to station, coast to coast
Well you can hear all his records on the radio
He makes every evening feel like Saturday night
And if you're happy or sad he'll make the feeling right

I only wanna see him play
All the girls 'n' boys they wanna see him play
Nobody else they wanna see him play
And he brings a tear to the eye
He'll make you "LAUGH OR" make you cry
Ooh, nobody asks him why
Cos they just wanna "HEAR" him play

Yeah, he's the man with the horn
Ooh they wanna see him play
Yeah, he's the man with the horn
Ooh they wanna see him play
Yeah, he's the man with the horn
You know they wanna see him, they wanna see him

Yes, you know they wanna see him, they wanna see him
Chow, they know they wanna see him, they wanna see him
They wanna, they wanna, they wanna see him play
They wanna see him play, play, play, play
Oh, all the girls and boys wanna see him play
All the girls and boys wanna see him play
(All the girls and boys) 3x
"THEY WANNA SEE HIM PLAY"

i put the lyrics in question "IN CAPITAL LETTERS" but feel free to make any necessary correction needed.

heres a link for the youtube video of the song:

"SOME TEARS" = a tear
Chow = Child

The rest is fine.

and what about these two:

1. And he brings "SOME TEAR" to the eye (that's how i hear it)

2. And if you're happy or sad he'll make "THE or YOUR" feeling right (i'm not sure with what i hear)

i agree with you that "chow" should be "CHILD"

I'm a native English speaker:

"and he brings a tear to the eye"

"And if you're happy or sad he'll make the feeling right"

Mixalopoulos,

i appreciate your comment regarding the lyrics. still, i disagree with you on your last post:

1. And he brings "SOME TEAR" to the eye (this is how i hear it, especially in the mid-part of the lyrics. as for the first part and final part, it is "A TEAR.")

2. And if YOU'RE happy or sad he'll make "YOUR" feeling right (you can tell that there's a consistency here.)

anyway, to those of you who have different opinions, feel free to comment. this is, after all, a lyrics discussion.

Point 1."Some tear" does not make sense in English as "some" is plural, and tear is singular. It would be "some tears"

Point 2. "the feeling right' as it relates to either being "happy" or "sad"
