Sent a telegram today |
|
Tomorrow you'll be on your way |
|
Could be Memphis or L.A. |
|
No questions just get out and play. |
|
Wake up call to catch the plane |
|
You know you're on the road again |
|
Someone's bangin' in your head |
|
Why did you get so late to bed. |
|
Runnin' late and feelin' bad |
|
That breakfast was the worst you've had |
|
Make the gate no time to spare |
|
Before you know you're in the air. |
|
747 flies us high |
|
Much higher than we're meant to be |
|
You're six miles high but feelin' down |
|
You wish you could be on the ground. |
|
Find your bags and walk for miles |
|
The customs man is waitin' there |
|
Immigration cause delay |
|
You wonder if you'll ever play. |
|
Limousine is standin' by |
|
We get inside and drive a while |
|
F.M. Station soundin' good |
|
And gettin' better every mile. |
|
Hotel lobby looks the same |
|
With all the same old girls in town |
|
Press reception takes the day |
|
With all the same old things to say |
|
Need your picture smile this way |
|
And will you tell me what you play |
|
(PART 2: SO YOU WANNA BE A ROCK'N'ROLL STAR) |
|
Roger McGuinn/Chris Hillman (COPYRIGHT 1966 TICKSON MUSIC CO. (BMI) |
|
So you wanna be a rock'n'roll star |
|
Just listen now to what I say |
|
Get yourself an electric guitar |
|
and take some time and learn to play. |
|
(PART 3: SOUND CHECK) |
|
Nazareth |
|
Your roadies call to say OK |
|
The soundcheck can get underway |
|
Soundcheckover, had some fun |
|
A waste of time for everyone |
|
Time has come to start the show |
|
It's boogie time for everyone |
|
Check guitars before you go |
|
They're close enough for rock n roll |
|
The lights are low, |
|
The crowd is high, much higher than |
|
They're meant to be |
|
We take the stage and start to play |
|
The lights come up for all to see |
|
(PART 4: HERE WE ARE AGAIN) |
|
Nazareth |
|
Here we are again, singin' the same old songs |
|
Lookin for someone who will sing along |
|
Here we are again playin' the same old scenes |
|
Lookin'for someone who will share our dreams |
|
Here we are again facing the same old sights |
|
Lookin' for someone who will share our nights |
