the weight

• i pulled in to nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead
  i just need some place where i can lay my head
  ``hey mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?''
  he just grinned and shook my hand, ``no'' was all he said
  
  take a load off, fanny
  take a load for free
  take a load off, fanny
  and you put the load right on me
  
  i picked up my bag, i went looking for a place to hide
  when i saw carmen and the devil walking side by side
  i said ``hey carmen, come on, let's go downtown''
  she said ``i gotta go but my friend can stick around''
  
  take a load off, fanny
  take a load for free
  take a load off, fanny
  and you put the load right on me
  
  go down miss moses, there's nothing you can say
  it's just old luke, and luke's waiting on the judgement day
  ``well, luke my friend, what about young anna - lee?''
  he said ``do me a favour son, won't you stay and keep anna - lee
  company?''
  
  take a load off, fanny
  take a load for free
  take a load off, fanny
  and you put the load right on me
  
  crazy chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
  he said ``i will fix your rat if you'll take jack my dog''
  i said ``wait a minute chester, you know i'm a peaceful man''
  he said ``that's okay boy, won't you feed him when you can?''
  
  take a load off, fanny
  take a load for free
  take a load off, fanny
  and you put the load right on me
  
  catch a cannonball now to take me down the line
  my bag is sinking low and i do believe it's time
  to get back to miss fanny, you know she's the only one
  who sent me here with her regards for everyone
  take a load off, fanny
  take a load for free
  take a load off, fanny
  and you put the load right on me
• travis, sheryl crow ve başkalarınca da yorumlanan the band şarkısı.
• ayrıca igby goes down filminde çalan şarkılardan biridir.
• festival express de the band tarafından icra edilen müthiş şarkı.
• easy rider ın sağlam şarkılarından biridir. böyle bir akşamüstü morluğu düşerken, asfalt yavaşça kendini toparlıyorken ve herşey alabildiğine yol iken.
• yazılmış en güzel parçalardan biridir. martin scorsese'in yönettiği the band grubunun belgesel tadında veda konserlerinden oluşan 1978 yapımı the last waltz kesinlikle görülmeye değerdir.

• aynı zamanda the sopranos dördüncü sezon dördüncü bölümünün adı.
• soundtrack tutkunlarını "o mare" ve "vesuvio" gibi iki harika şarkıyla tanıştıran "the sopranos" bölümü.
• editors 'un the weight of your love albümünün ilk şarkısı.
  sözlerini de verelim olsun bitsin.
  
  for a moment
  ı felt the strength of your love.
  ıt was lightning, it was lightning.
  strike down on me.
  
  ı'm a lump of meat,
  with a heart beat.
  electricity restarts me.
  strike down on me.
  
  every day ı pray
  ı'm the first to go.
  without you ı would be lost.
  
  ı promised myself
  ı wouldn't talk about death.
  ı know ı'm getting boring.
  
  ı'm a man
  holding the weight of your love,
  but without it my strength just isn't enough.
  so strike down on me, on me.
  
  every day ı pray
  ı'm the first to go.
  without you ı would be lost.
  
  and ı promised myself
  ı wouldn't sing about death.
  ı know ı'm getting boring now.
  
  for a moment
  ı felt the weight of your love.
  ıt was lightning, it was lightning.
  strike down on me.
