No money could save him, so he laid down and died.... RIP Greg Lake

2016 has been hard on musicians....  I listened to about 10,000 times more ELP and King Crimson than Prince.... so this one means more in my book.

No doubt.  One of the original ELP fans.  I still crank Brain Salad Surgery in the car.

"Lucky Man"

He had white horses
And ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
And waiting by the door

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

White lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold covered mattress
On which he was led

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

He went to fight wars
For his country and his king
Of his honor and his glory
The people would sing

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

If you notice they had a lot of Beatles Influence and this song shows that more than any they have...
