Peter Frampton (born 22 April 1950 in Beckenham, Kent) is a British musician, best known today for his solo work in the mid-1970s as an "arena rocker". He originally became famous, however, as a member of The Herd and became a teen idol in Britain. He then worked with Steve Marriott (of the Small Faces) in Humble Pie, as well as on albums by Harry Nilsson, Jerry Lee Lewis, and George Harrison. His solo debut was 1972's Wind of Change. He gained international fame in 1976 when his much-loved live album, Frampton Comes Alive! was released.

The Bigger They Come Lyrics

Peter Frampton

I've been checking over my shoulder
Something's follwing me
The back of my neck is feeling much colder
It's there but I just can't see
One day I'll meet it and that'll be that
I know I'm going to beat it, it's a natural fact

The bigger they come - the harder they fall
The bigger they come - the harder they fall

I've been ducking down some deep dark alleyways
I've done some divin' around
Blindly feeling my way through the city
Got my ear to the ground
I've got to shake it this feeling so bad
It could be the best time that I've ever had 'cause

The bigger they come - the harder they fall
The bigger they come - the harder they fall

Here comes a merchant
he wants money in his hand
I know that he won't listen
He just don't understand
They creep out after midnight
They sliding all around
Working on the night shift
It's going on all over town

The bigger they come - the harder they fall
The bigger they come - the harder they fall
