LYRICS (elyrics.net) —————————————————- Standing on a hilltop, wishing on a quick star Enemies all around me Got to make a rest stop, wonder where my friends are It’s about time they found meI’m caught in the middle of a shooting war And I can’t ever gather what I’m fighting for And I hate to imagine what they’ve got in store Somebody put the heat on me Who could it be?Stranded by the seaside, waiting out the high tide Taking a short vacation Wading through the hot crowd, laughing at ’em out loud Crying in desperationI’m caught in the current and I’m going down And I ain’t got a will and I’m about to drown And I hope they can forward all my bag to town Somebody’s out to blow my mind They’re doing fineAll I need is some time to myself And a place in the countryWaiting by the highway, people going my way Making like they ignore me Running from the rat race, smiling with a false face Searching the road before meI’m hot on the trail of something I can’t find And I can’t pay my ticket and I’m running blind And I think I discovered I’ve been left behind Somebody wants to use my name It’s a shame – ain’t it a shameAll I need is some time to escape And a place in the country————————————————————Fanny was an American all-female band, active in the early 1970s. They were one of the first notable rock groups to be made up entirely of women, the third to sign with a major label (after Goldie & the Gingerbreads and the Pleasure Seekers), and the first to release an album on a major label (in 1970). They achieved two top 40 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and released five albums.Sisters June Millington (born April 14, 1948, Manila, Philippines) and Jean Millington (born May 25, 1949, Manila, Philippines) moved with their family from the Philippines to Sacramento, California in 1961. In high school they formed an all-girl band called the Svelts with June on guitar, Jean on bass, Addie Lee on guitar, and Brie Brandt on drums. Brandt was later replaced by Alice de Buhr (born September 4, 1949, Mason City, Iowa). When the Svelts disbanded, de Buhr and Lee formed another all-female group called Wild Honey. The Millington sisters later joined this band, which played Motown covers and eventually moved to Los Angeles.In January 1970, Nickey Barcley was asked to join Fanny as a singer and keyboardist. She was one of the main songwriters and lead singers in the group, and appeared on all their albums, adding soul, blues and funk influences to the group’s overall sound.
