Bad Company

Like a pair of open wings, you bind me
To a world, I helped you build around me
Our gilded cage has turned into a prison cell
Like a dream when it dies becomes an empty shell

Untie the knot, the hold over me you got
Untie the knot, the hold over me you got

Like a slave who's bound in chains, a broken man
Like a pain no one could ever understand
That's the spark that lights the fire deep inside
As long as you ain't no blue in my sky

Untie the knot, the hold over me you got
Untie the knot, the hold over me that you got

Set me free from these chains
The time has come to rearrange our destiny

Untie the knot, the knot
Untie the knot, untie, untie, set me free, set me free

Bad Company was not only formed as a supergroup from members of Free (Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke), Mott the Hoople (Mick Ralphs), and King Crimson (Boz Burrell), but also was immediately signed as the first act on Led Zeppelin’s new label, Swan Song.

So they had a charmed life, from the start. And they made good on everything it promised. They had so many hits we just don’t wanna type them all in with the fancy markup here, so just check them out for yourself, listed by popularity on this very page. Suffice it to say there are few hard blues-rock bands with more songs that hit the US charts.

Here’s one of them, Bad Company, by Bad Company, off the album Bad
