La historia de Nazareth, una de las bandas más icónicas del rock, comenzó en Dunfermline, Escocia, en 1968. El grupo se formó con la unión de talentosos músicos locales: Dan McCafferty (voz), Manny Charlton (guitarra), Pete Agnew (bajo) y Darrell Sweet (batería). Estos músicos ya tenían experiencia previa en otras bandas locales, y su amor por el rock y la determinación de compartir su música los unió.
El primer álbum de Nazareth, titulado simplemente Nazareth, salió a la luz en 1971. Aunque no tuvo un gran éxito comercial, sentó las bases de lo que vendría. Con su segundo álbum, Exercises (1972), la banda comenzó a pulir su sonido y a ganar seguidores leales. Fue un preludio a la explosión que estaba por venir.
En 1973, Nazareth lanzó Razamanaz, producido por Roger Glover de Deep Purple. Este álbum marcó un punto de inflexión en la carrera del grupo. Canciones como "Broken Down Angel" y "Bad Bad Boy" se convirtieron en clásicos y ayudaron a la banda a consolidarse en la escena internacional del rock. Razamanaz fue un éxito rotundo y llevó a Nazareth a una gira mundial.
Lay down with stars in my eyes
Break down
See me, I'm telling no lies
Hear me
Is it better than me
(Is it better than me)
Is it better than you
Tell me what you see
(Tell me what you see)
Did daddy tell the truth
Running faster than my ego
I've been lost in my dreams
Cos it's better than me
(Cos it's better than me)
And it's better than you
Take me I'm burning inside
Shake me
Don't tell me to swallow my pride
Don't shame me
Is it better than me
(Is it better than me)
Is it better than you
Tell me what you see
(Tell me what you see)
Did daddy tell the truth
Running faster than my ego
I've been lost in my dreams
Cos it's better than me
(Cos it's better than me)
And it's better than you
Open up your eyes and see
I can build a symphony
I lay down and stare at the sky
Free now
See me I'm telling no lies
Hear me
Is it better than me
(Is it better than me)
Is it better than you
Tell me what you see
(Tell me what you see)
Did daddy tell the truth
Running faster than my ego
I've been lost in my dreams
Cos it's better than me
(Cos it's better than me)
And it's better than you
Open up your eyes and see
I can build a symphony
So it's better than me
(So it's better than me)
And it's better than you
It's up to you boy
Did daddy tell the truth
Running with my ego
Lost in my dream
Is it better than me
(Is it better than me)
Cos it's better by you
Open up your eyes and see
I will build a silent symphony
