Ian Hunter

Ian Hunter Patterson, (born 3 June 1939), is an English singer-songwriter who is best known as the lead singer of the English rock band Mott the Hoople from its inception in 1969 to its dissolution in 1974, and at the time of its 2009 reunion. Hunter was a musician and songwriter before joining Mott The Hoople, and continued in this vein after he left the band. He embarked on a solo career despite ill health and disillusionment with commercial success, and often worked in collaboration with Mick Ronson, David Bowie's sideman and arranger from the Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars period. more »

I have a dream its only one dream
But I know dreams can come true
And I have a wish its only one wish
But I know wishes can too

I want to be-faraway from here
With those honky tonk heroes burnin' my ears oh

Love American music I play it all night long
Just me n' records n' a vivid imagination
I love to dance in the mirror I practice every single word
And it seems to me American music is all I've ever heard
Oh oh oh-oh oh oh its lonely on the underground
I sit and watch my world go round n' round n' round n' round n' round
I sit and watch the world go round

I hear the sons of Memphis I hear the brothers or Harlem
I hear the Nashville Cats n' the rag time mamas outta New Orleans
I hear the Windy City I hear a gospel singers hymn and it seems to me
American music is all there's ever been

C'mon baby oh oh oh oh-oo-oo
I love the names of the cities I hear the echo echoing
And it seems to me American music is all there's ever been
