Το ” Baker Street ” έγραψε και ερμήνευσε ο Σκωτσέζος τραγουδιστής και τραγουδοποιός Gerry Rafferty .
Κέρδισε το βραβείο Ivor Novello το 1979 για το καλύτερο τραγούδι μουσικά και στιχουργικά και πέτυχε υψηλές θέσεις στα chart στο Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο, τις ΗΠΑ και αλλού.
Η διασκευή είναι γνωστή για το σαξόφωνο riff της.
Winding your way down on Baker StreetLight in your head and dead on your feetWell, another crazy dayYou’ll drink the night awayAnd forget about ev’rything
This city desert makes you feel so coldIt’s got so many people, but it’s got no soulAnd it’s taken you so longTo find out you were wrongWhen you thought it held everything
You used to think that it was so easyYou used to say that it was so easyBut you’re tryin’, you’re tryin’ now
Another year and then you’d be happyJust one more year and then you’d be happyBut you’re cryin’, you’re cryin’ now
Way down the street there’s a light in his placeHe opens the door, he’s got that look on his faceAnd he asks you where you’ve beenYou tell him who you’ve seenAnd you talk about anything
He’s got this dream about buying some landHe’s gonna give up the booze and the one-night standsAnd then he’ll settle downIn some quiet little townAnd forget about ev’rything
