Just Like Greta Lyrics


Some days it gets completely crazy
And I feel like howling at the moon
Then sometimes it feels so easy
Like I was born with a silver spoonOther times you just can't reach me
Seems like I've got a heart of stone
Guess I need my solitude
And I have to make it on my ownWell I guess I'm going A.W.O.L.
Disconnect my telephone
Just like Greta Garbo
I want to be aloneNeed to make some real connection
Baby something's just got to give
'cause I've been too long in exile
I've been grinding at the millToo long to decode all the secrets
Have to get some elbow room
Most people think that everything
Is just what they assumeWell I know I'm going A.W.O.L.
Tell everyone I'm not at home
Just like Greta Garbo

I just want to be aloneWell I'm going out to L.A.
I wanna get my business done
Then I'm going on to Vegas
Then I'm going on the runIf anybody asks you have you seen me
Please just tell them no
'cause I'm living on the outside
And I have nowhere to goWell I guess I'm going A.W.O.L.
Disconnect my telephone
Just like Greta Garbo
I just want to be aloneI just want to be alone
Disconnect my telephone
Just like Greta Garbo
I just want to be alone

George Ivan Morrison (generally known as Van Morrison) (born 31 August 1945) is a Grammy Award-winning artist from Belfast, Northern Ireland. He's a singer, songwriter, author, poet, and multi-instrumentalist, who has been a professional musician since 1958. He plays a variety of instruments, including the guitar, harmonica, keyboards, drums, and saxophone. Featuring his characteristic growl - a unique mix of folk, blues, Irish, scat, and Celtic influences - Morrison is widely considered one of the most unusual and influential vocalists in the history of rock and roll.

Known as "Van the Man" by his fans, Morrison first rose to prominence as the lead singer of the Northern Irish band Them, writing their 1964 hit "Gloria". A few years later, Morrison left the band for a successful solo career, starting with the album Astral Weeks.

Morrison has pursued an idiosyncratic musical path. Much of his music is tightly structured around the conventions of American soul and R&B, such as the popular singles "Brown Eyed Girl", "Moondance", "Domino", and "Wild Night". An equal part of his catalogue consists of lengthy, loosely connected, spiritually inspired musical journeys that show the influence of Celtic tradition, jazz, and stream-of-consciousness narrative, such as his classic album Astral Weeks and lesser known works such as Veedon Fleece and Common One. The two strains together are sometimes referred to as "Celtic Soul," and Morrison rejects the characterization of his genre of music as Rock, citing Elvis Presley as a non-influence.

He continues to perform regularly, and achieved his highest U.S. chart position (number ten on the Billboard 200) with his latest album, Keep It Simple.
