Long Live Rock-The Who

[00:00.009] [00:09.69]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. [99:00.000]
