Long Live Rock - Original Olympic Mix

Lyrics for Long Live Rock - Original Olympic Mix

Down at the Astoria the scene was changing Bingo and rock were pushing out X-Ratings We were the first band to vomit in the bar And find the distance to the stage too far Meanwhile it's getting late at ten o'clock Rock is dead they say Long live rock Long live rock I need it every night Long live rock Come on and join the line Long live rock Be it dead or alive People walking sideways pretending that they're leaving We put on our make-up and work out all the lead-ins Jackies in the alleys say their chickies wait in Hong Kong Promoters in the pay-box wondering where the band's gone Back in the pub the governor stops the clock Rock is dead they say Long live rock Long live rock I need it every night Long live rock Come on and join the line Long live rock Be it dead or alive Landslide, rocks are falling Falling down around our very heads We tried but you were yawning Look again Rock is dead Rock is dead Rock is dead The place is really jumping to the Hiwatt amps Till the twenty inch cymbal fell and cut the lamps In the blackout they dance right on to the aisle And as the doors fly open even the promoter smiles Someone takes his pants off and the rafters knock Rock is dead they say Long live rock Long live rock Long live rock Long live rock Long live rock Long live rock Long live rock Long live rock Long live rock Long live rock I need it every night Long live rock Come on and join the line Long live rock Be it dead or alive
