Rock N' Roll Star (Playback Version For Top Of The Pops) - Barclay James Harvest

Yeah, yeah Mhmm Woo! I was just another child going wild in the city Just gettin' by on a dream I was thinking life was gonna be so pretty It was pretty mean Yeah I hit the road I've had no expectations Just leaving where I'd been I didn't care about the fame or the money Show me a place to play and I'm gonna go 'Cause it's all for the love of rock and roll Hear my music in the air, and I'm losing control I don't care what you heard, I don't care what you're told 'Cause it's all for the love of rock and roll I hitched a ride on a trip going nowhere Got fifty bucks and I'm fine Ain't a lot of dough but when you know the feeling Well it feels alright, alright When you're finished with the band And some honey grabs your hand, yeah You get to thinking you might That's when you notice there's a ring on her finger That's when she tells you that she's single tonight Well it's all for the love of rock and roll Hear my music in the air, and I'm losing control I don't care what you heard, I don't care what you're told 'Cause it's all for the love of rock and roll I've got it made when I hit the stage at quarter to nine (yeah) Watch them dancin' in the haze and the band's really pumping Feel the rush and that's all it's about I'm in for life and there's no getting out of the way Yeah All I want All I need Yeah, 'cause it's all for the love of rock and roll Hear my music in the air, and I'm losing control I don't care what you heard, I don't care what you're told 'Cause it's all for the love of rock and roll All for my love of rock and roll

Came to your border Looking back into the night Falling down on the city lights far away Tell me the answer "Who knows the wrong from the right?" Years may come and years they go You've seen your bridges burning And the wheels of time keep turning Like a ship in the night You passed along the highways of my life And now my mind you're always in And the ten-thirty flight will soon be headed my way As she sails across the skyway of Berlin Thought I heard your bells cry Bringing the life to your face The time for tears has passed away Can't you see the night is lifting And the sands of time are shifting? Like a ship in the night You passed along the highways of my life And now my mind you're always in And the ten-thirty flight will soon be headed my way As she sails across the skyway of Berlin Oh, and to think of all the changes you have seen Oh, and reflect upon the way it might have been Like a ship in the night You passed along the highways of my life And now my mind you're always in And the ten-thirty flight will soon be headed my way As she sails across the skyway of Berlin Like a ship in the night You passed along the highways of my life And now my mind you're always in And the ten-thirty flight will soon be headed my way As she sails across the skyway of Berlin Like a ship in the night You passed along the highways of my life And now my mind you're always in And the ten-thirty flight will soon be headed my way As she sails across the skyway of Berlin

Oh Mother dear What a night this has been I awoke in the light of a vision in white The prettiest girl that I have ever seen Lately my love, said the lady in white I have watched from afar, but love draws me near Now take my hand, hold tight, Mother dear Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear? Was it just another dream... in the night? Mother dear, on that same silver night Saw a figure in black by the lady in white He said his name was death, was he right? Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear? Was it just another dream... in the night? Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear? Was it just another dream... in the night? Mother dear, what a night this has been It's so cold by your side, no don't cry, can't you see? Won't you listen to me please, Mother dear Was it just another dream, Mother dear?
