John Martyn - One World Lyrics
Some of us live like princes
Some of us live like queens
Most of us live just like me
And we don't know what it means
To take our place in one world
To make our way in one world
To have our say in one world
If you ain't got two words to say
Then I can't talk to you
No use crying, there's been no crime
I say it's just the way the wind blows
Just the name of the game
The way of the world
The way of the world
Just the way of the world
Cold and lonely, cold and lonely
Cold and lonely world, for some
Cold and lonely, cold and lonely
Cold and lonely
Just a cold and lonely world for some
There's one world, like it or not
There's one world, believe it or not
There's one world
There's one world, leave it or not
One world, like it or not
There's one world
Some of us live like princes
Some of us live like queens
Most of us live just like me
And we don't know what it means
To take our place in one world
To take our place in one world
To make our love in one world
Make our way in one world
One world, one world

John Martyn One World Comments
Este tipo me partió la cabeza. Increíble, leyenda.
Six heartless, empty, lonely, people, gave this a thumbs down.
Dedicated to all the Tommy Robinsons out there. Suck it up bellend.
Masterpiece.
Absolutely beautiful.
I think I want this played at my funeral.
THIS MIX HAS BEEN FUCKED WITH,,
His studio work after separating from Beverly set the standard for decades.
I saw several of gigs that supported the release of this extraordinary album. The gig with Stevie Winwood, Danny Thompson and Pierre Moarlen as the band lingers in the memory.
Some of us live like princes
Some of us live like queens
Most of us live just like me
We don't know what it means
To take our place in one world
To make our peace in one world
To make our way in one world
To have our say in one world
If you ain't got two words to say
Then I can't talk to you
No use crying, there's been no crime
I say it's just the way the wind blows
Just the name of the game
The way of the world, way of the world
Just the way of the world
Just the way of the world
So cold and lonely
Cold and lonely
Cold and lonely world
Such a cold and lonely
Cold and lonely
Cold and lonely world
It's just a cold and lonely world
It's one world, like it or not
It's one world, believe it or not
It's one world
It's one world, believe it or not
One world, like it or not
It's one world
Some of us live like princes
Some of us live like queens
Most of us live just like me
And we don't know what it means
To take our place in one world
To take our place in one world
To make our loving in one world
Make our way in one world
It's one world, one world, one world
Mr.Martyn will always have a place in my heart.great to see the younger generation of musicians are discovering this man of 'fine music distinction'.Bless you John.!! your music guided me through many a 'dodgy' chapter in my life.
Still is a bit dodgy for me! But there's still this to come to in the middle of the night (as I am right now). A lullaby for the distressed. It's a shame more don't know of his extraordinary music.
where are the geese??Quinn of the tundra.
On small hours :-) Hi Blind Dog.
@Llama Man21 Indeed! I can see why this one might get confused with Small Hours if you haven't played them both endlessly for decades (-:
love & understanding

I was very fortunate to have met John Martyn in a pub in London, not only was I a huge fan but I have never met anyone so down to earth, easy to talk to and genuinely warm guy. Real one of a kind. Just recently found out he is no longer with us, very sadly missed..
pitty you missed him,he was and always will be ,magnificent poet ,live living man
Thanks for the posting! This song is amazing!
