Van Morrison - Richard Cory (alternate Version) lyrics

Say that richard cory Owns one-half of this here town With political connections To spread his wealth around Born into society, a banker's only child He had everything a man could want Power, grace and style But i, i work in his factory And i curse the life that i'm livin' And i curse my poverty And i wish that i could be Yeah, hey i wish that i could be Lord, i wish that i could be, richard cory The paper's print his picture Everywhere he go Richard cory at the opera Richard cory at the show And the rumours of his parties And orgies on his yacht Heart and soul he must be happy With everything that he has got But i, i work in his factory And i curse the life i'm livin' And i curse my poverty And i wish that i could be Yeah, wish that i could be Lord, i wish that i could be, richard cory He freely give to charity and had the common touch They were grateful for his patronage And thanked him very much So my mind was filled with wonder When the evenin' headlines read That richard cory went home last night And put a bullet through his head, hu But i, i, work in his factory And i don't dig the life i'm livin' I curse my poverty And i wish that i could be And i wish that i could be Well, i wish that i could be, richard cory Yeah, i wish that i could be Lord, i wish that i could be Yeah, i wish that i could be Yes, oh i wish that i could be Just like richard cory
