And the Bands Played On
Just before dawn in the cold light We came out of the night A great expectation from the man who ran the show Will it rain, will it snow, will it shine, we don't know Are there clouds up in the sky We sat in the sun, woah-oh-oh And the bands played on And the bands played on And the bands played on See the people, feel the power There was sixty thousand there Just like thunder the crowds began to roar Where you there, did ya know, did ya see all the show There was magic in the air We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh And the bands played on And the bands played on And the bands played on See the rainbow shining brightly Shooting rockets to the sky Making music and it rolled on through the night You could hear on the air rock n' roll everywhere We were strangers in the night We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh And the bands played on And the bands played on And the bands played on And the bands played on And the bands played on

They came down from the north To the plough they were scorched In the footsteps of a man who'd been before Right up from the street Came the ranks of unemployed They'd everything to gain but none to lose They searched the hungry years For the triumphs, for the tears It's a chance they had to take They were waiting for a break They searched the hungry years For the triumphs, for the tears Some make it to the stars Playing rock 'n' roll guitars They ran into the lights Into the muse, into the fights The system tried to change and understand them The business world is deep For a percentage of the heat There was magic in their eyes They couldn't see the lies They searched the hungry years For the triumphs, for the tears It's a chance they had to take They were waiting for a break They searched the hungry years For the triumphs, for the tears Some make it to the stars Playing rock 'n' roll guitars Some take the fame And some take the blame Maybe they will and maybe they won't Tonight... Ya know the world's another stage Full of heartache full of rage The system tried to change and understand them But the business world is deep For a percentage of the heat The magic in their eyes They watched it slowly die They searched the hungry years For the triumphs, for the tears It's a chance they had to take They were waiting for a break They searched the hungry years For the triumphs, for the tears Some make it to the stars Playing rock 'n' roll guitars Playing rock 'n' roll guitars Woo-hoo-hoo Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hungry years They've left the hungry years Woo-hoo-hoo Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hungry years Rock 'n' roll guitars in their hungry years

If you're talking a flight At the speed of light You're shaking your heads to the band If you're there on your horse But you're not on the force We're taking this place to the ground In the heat of the night When you're fists are alight Forged on anvils of steel If your body's on fire About to expire We go to the threshold of pain Pull your heads back Hold your hands high Shake your body If it's too loud And you're burning hot Fill your heads with heavy metal thunder Heavy metal thunder On the wings of an eagle You're hoping to fly Holding your hands to the sky In a blue sea of denim Checkin' the band With your banners and scarves held on high If you think something more You'll come down to the front Don't sit there and do as they say We're an army of thousands Surrounded by light Tearing this place to the ground Pull your heads back Hold your hands high Shake your body If it's too loud And you're burning hot Fill your heads with heavy metal thunder Heavy metal thunder Pull your heads back Hold your hands high Shake your body If it's too loud And you're burning hot Fill your heads with heavy metal thunder Heavy metal thunder
