The 1969 hit song – big in Europe – moderate in the US – by the Dutch group George Baker Selection.
Later on an album with the same name.
The song acquired a cult like following due to the “cultish” Quentin Tarantino’s debut film in which it was the opening track – Reservoir Dogs.
[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Lookin' back on the track for a little greenback
Got to find just the kind or losin' my mind
Out of sight in the night, out of sight in the day
Lookin' back on the track, gonna do it my way
Out of sight in the night, out of sight in the day
Lookin' back on the track, gonna do it my way
Lookin' back
[Chorus]
Lookin' for some happiness
But there is only loneliness to find
Jump to the left, turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs, lookin' behind
Lookin' for some happiness
But there is only loneliness to find
Jump to the left, turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs, lookin' behind
[Verse 2]
Lookin' back on the track for a little greenback
Got to find just the kind or losin' my mind
Out of sight in the night, out of sight in the day
Lookin' back on the track, gonna do it my way
Lookin' back on the track for a little, little greenback
Got to find just the kind or losin' my mind
[Chorus]
Lookin' for some happiness
But there is only loneliness to find
Jump to the left, turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs, lookin' behind
Lookin' for some happiness
But there is only loneliness to find
Turn to the left, turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs, lookin' behind
