Every once in a while this album I bought years ago comes up in the iPod. And every time it does I find myself asking, “Who is Mr. Drake?” I have never found the answer, so I thought I would put the question to you, my knowledgeable readers. . .
Hit the town, still dressing down
Looking for some action
Mr. Jagger said it best
He knows you never get...no satisfaction
But Mr. Dylan knows
That everyone is more or less a rolling stone
And Mr. Lennon, so quiet, knows better or so I've been told
That says it all, doesn't it?
We always want what we never get
Well listen hear, my friend
I can't continue to pretend that it's alright'
Cause that ain't right...That ain't right
I hear you're gonna make it big, rake it in
With your master plan,Mr. Hendrix understood
Those are only castles made of sand
Mr. Wilson took some pills...and I don't blame him
It's hard to be alive...Mr. Page, how he played
Mr. Drake stayed up late and made me cry
They've said it all haven't they?
But what I want, what I want to say
Is listen hear my friend
I can't continue to pretend that it's alright
No matter what we get
We never find our happiness
Ain't that a crime? Maybe that's why I've been told
Since I was six years old to compromise
But that ain't right...That ain't right
Duncan Sheik - That Says It All - Humming
. . . WHO IS MR. DRAKE?

Nick Drake -- English singer/songwriter during the 60s and early 70s.

Interesting character from what I've read about him. He kind of reminds me of Syd for all the wrong reasons...A lot of people seem to have listed him as an influence, including Lucinda Williams and Elliot Smith (I wish Elliot had not chosen the same way out...). What's the name of the album you have Kare?
