"GAMBLIN' MAN" representerer vel det mange oppfattet som "typisk NJS" på slutten av 1970/begynnelsen på 1980-tallet. En enkel, grei og refrengvennlig mediumlåt med masse kassegitarer og Håkon Vellesvik, Eigil Berg og Svein Finjarn i koret mot Eigils sang. Det litt uvanlige arrangementet med halvering av tempoet i verset ble til under innspillingen i studio. Brynjulf Blix spiller orgel.
(Eigil
Berg)
He
was cryin' out for sympathy
For
a little bit of understanding
He'd
been losin' out on harmony
When
the game got too demanding
But
he can tell you ‘bout the days gone by
When
his luck was ridin' high
The
high and mighty turned high and dry
Don't
you pass him by
Listen
to the gamblin’ man
Tryin'
to make you understand
Tellin'
ye how it all began
By
buildin' castles in the sand
Tryin'
to make you understand
Gamblin'
man
He's
been livin' on a dream too long
With
lady luck and wheels of fortune
He's
been livin' with the blues too long
Mixin'
up with gamblin' potion
When
he's headin’ for the journey's end
Don't
you think he needs a friend
The
high and mighty turned high and dry
Don't
you pass him by |
