The Proclaimers - I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)
What we have here today is a different band that had their main success period in 1993 when the above mentioned song reached number 27 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This quite is quite peculiar being made of two identical twin brothers from Scotland which have both turned 50 by today. Before making this folk rock single they had experience before by forming several punk rock bands in their high school years. The song is also featured on VH1's greatest one hit wonders for being their only US hit single. In 2007 they decided to remake the song and thus it once again reached number one in the UK.
Lyrics
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next you
When I go out, yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
If I get drunk, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver up, Yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you
But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
When I'm working, yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
And when the money, comes in for the work I do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you
When I come home(When I come home), well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
And if I grow-old,(When I grow-old) well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you
But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
da da da (da da da)
da da da (da da da)
dum diddle dum diddle dum diddle do da day
da da da (da da da)
da da da (da da da)
dum diddle dum diddle dum diddle do da day
When I'm lonely, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
And when I'm dreaming, well I know I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna Dream about the time when I'm with you
When I go out(When I go out), well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
And when I come home(When I come home), yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home with you
I'm gonna be the man who's coming home with you
But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
da da da (da da da)
da da da (da da da)
dum diddle dum diddle dum diddle do da day
da da da (da da da)
da da da (da da da)
dum diddle dum diddle dum diddle do da day
da da da (da da da)
da da da (da da da)
dum diddle dum diddle dum diddle do da day
da da da (da da da)
da da da (da da da)
dum diddle dum diddle dum diddle do da day
And I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
