Down at the Astoria the scene was changing, |
| [00:13.27] |
Bingo and rock were pushing out X-rating, |
| [00:16.96] |
We were the first band to vomit in the bar, |
| [00:20.20] |
And find the distance to the stage too far, |
| [00:24.08] |
Meanwhile it's getting late at ten o'clock, |
| [00:27.58] |
Rock is dead they say, |
| [00:31.33] |
Long live rock. |
| [00:41.08] |
Long live rock, I need it every night, |
| [00:46.14] |
Long live rock, come on and join the line, |
| [00:53.58] |
Long live rock, be it dead or alive. |
| [01:06.58] |
People walk in sideways pretending that they're leaving, |
| [01:10.14] |
We put on our makeup and work out all the lead-ins, |
| [01:13.83] |
Jack is in the alley selling tickets made in Hong Kong, |
| [01:17.33] |
Promoter's in the pay box wondering where the band's gone, |
| [01:21.08] |
Back in the pub the governor stops the clock, |
| [01:24.89] |
Rock is dead, they say, |
| [01:27.64] |
Long live rock. |
| [01:36.21] |
Long live rock, I need it every night, |
| [01:43.52] |
Long live rock, come on and join the line, |
| [01:51.07] |
Long live rock, be it dead or alive. |
| [02:04.57] |
Landslide, rocks are falling, |
| [02:08.07] |
Falling down 'round our very heads, |
| [02:11.76] |
We tried but you were yawning, |
| [02:15.69] |
Look rock again, is dead, rock is dead, rock is dead. |
| [02:34.86] |
The place is really jumping to the high-watt amps, |
| [02:38.12] |
'Til a 20-inch cymbal fell and cut the lamps, |
| [02:41.80] |
In the blackout they dance right into the aisle, |
| [02:45.49] |
And as the doors fly open even the promoter smiles, |
| [02:49.68] |
Someone takes his pants off and the rafters knock, |
| [02:53.36] |
Rock is dead, they say, |
| [02:56.30] |
Long live rock, long live rock, long live rock. |
| [03:03.49] |
Long live rock, long live rock, long live rock, |
| [03:12.30] |
Long live rock, long live rock, long live rock. |
| [03:29.49] |
Long live rock, I need it every night, |
| [03:36.74] |
Long live rock, come on and join the line, |
| [03:44.12] |
Long live rock, be it dead or alive. |
| [00:00.009] |
|
| [99:00.000] |
