Richard Cory Song Lyrics
Print Version
They say that Richard Cory owns one-half of this here town
With political connections, spread his wealth around
Born into society a banker's only child
He had everything a man could want,
Power, grace and style
But I work in his factory
And I curse the life I'm livin'
And I curse my poverty
That I wish that I could be
Yeah I wish that I could be
I wish that I could be, Richard Cory
The papers print his pictures
Almost everywhere he go
Richard Cory at the opera,
Richard Cory at the show
And the rumours of his a parties
And the orgies on his yacht
Well, he surely must be happy
With everything that he has got
But I, work in his factory
And I curse the life I'm livin'
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be
I wish that I can be, yeah
I wish that I can be, Richard Cory
He freely gives to charity
Had that common touch
They were grateful for his patronage
And thanked him very much
But my mind was filled with wonder
When the evening headlines
That Richard Cory went home last night
And put a bullet through his head
But I, I, I, work in his factory
And I, I don't dig the life I'm livin'
And I don't dig my poverty
And I wish that I could be
Yeah and I wish that I could be
Yeah wish that I could be, Richard Cory
And I wish that I could be
I wish that I could be
Somehow I wish that I could be
A just like a Richard Cory
Just li-i-i-ike, Richard Co-ory
A Richard Cory
A Richard Cory
FADES
A Richard Cory, just a man, just a boy

Other Van Morrison song Lyrics | Goin Down Geneva

It's not easy baby, living on the exile plan
Down on the bottom, down to my new pair of shoes..." | PHILOSOPHERS STONE

I'm still searching for, searching for my home
Up in the morning, up in the morning out on the road
And my head is aching and my hands are cold..." | In the Midnight

In the dimness, of the twilight
By the streetlight, by the lamplight

Saw you standin' in the pouring rain
Left my message on the window pain
Back on the street again..." | When the Leaves Come Falling Down

And you were thinking 'bout the wisdom of the leaves and their grace
When the leaves come falling down
In September when the leaves, come falling down..." | High Summer

Red sports car comes driving down the road
And pulls up into the driveway
And a story does unfold..." | Reminds Me of You

Seems like my heart, is breaking in two
My head says no but my soul demands it
Everything I do, reminds me of you..." | New Biography

Where did they get the info from
Same as before some, so called friends
Who claim to have, known me then..." | |
