Can't Take It With You Lyrics

Well, I sympathize completely
But there's nothing I can do
I am just a humble servant
With a message here for you

Well, I know you have good reasons
And there's things you've got to do
But the boatman won't be waiting
And he's leaving here with you

And you can't take him with you
No matter what you do
No, you can't take him with you
Not the place you're going to

One more mile
One more road
One last bridge
One less load

Well I sympathize completely
But there's nothing I can do
I am just obeying orders
I'm a simple soul like you

Well, you really are persuasive
But I've heard it all before
And the boatman's getting restless
As he stands upon the shore


And you can't take him with you
No matter what you do
No, you can't take him with you
Not the place you're going to

Can't take him with you
Can't take him with you
Can't take him with you

The Alan Parsons Project was a British rock group active from 1975 until 1990, founded by Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson both from London, England. The group is based on a number of regular group members such as Stuart Elliot and Ian Bairnson, complemented with varying lead vocals such as Colin Blunstone (the Zombies), Chris Rainbow and Gary Brooker (Procol Harum). The group is well known for its concept albums, which cover themes such as Edgar Allan Poe, Gaudi, and Freud.

Eric Woolfson wrote most of the music and lyrics while Alan Parsons overviewed the production process. Prior to starting his Project, Parsons worked as an engineer with names such as the Beatles(Abbey Road, the Get Back roofttop concert) and Pink Floyd (Dark Side of the Moon, Atom Heart Mother).

Since the 1990s Alan Parsons has been performing live shows, touring all over the world, but without Eric Woolfson. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
