Vancouver ‘23 - The Poles

Nazareth We only came here to play rock'n'roll Share some times with some people we know Drink some wine Give us some time We aint no wise boys we aint no fools We tried to play clean and keep to the rules We take and we give, just playin' our gig But we got laid over Ya we was done over Somebody tell us what's goin' down Don't need another Vancouver shakedown Six miles high, six miles along Chasin' the sun we've come to sing you a song Deliver our goods We're just rock'n'roll dudes All these behind us, and one more to go Fly to Vancouver, to do the lastshow It's got to be good, like we know that it should But we got laid over Ya we was doneover Somebody tell us what's goin' down Don't need another Vancouver shakedown Vancouver shakedown Vancouver shakedown We only came here to play rock'n'roll Share some times with some people we know Drink some wine Give us some time But we got laid over Ya we was done over Somebody tell us what's goin' down Don't need another Vancouver shakedown Vancouver shakedown Vancouver shakedown Vancouver shakedown Vancouver shakedown Vancouver shakedown Vancouver shakedown (WORDS AND MUSIC BY NAZARETH) COPYRIGHT 1975 JENEVIEVE MUSIC (BMI)

This ship was only ever built to fall apart The oceans that we couldn't cross The London Bridge is caving in Cities melt into my skin, it's looking thin Oh, where my heart is there's never a home These wooden doors are closed and this prison's cold In my glory bowing out to the crowd Returning to the ground Winter birth, the fires burn into the snow Surrender to the afterglow Letting mist dissolve the light The darkness, oh, it burns so bright, I'm turning blind Oh, where my heart is there's never a home These wooden doors are closed and this prison's all alone In my glory bowing out to the crowd Returning to the ground Oh, what a moment, encountering the dawn Breathing in the air I've never known In my glory bowing out to the crowd Returning to the ground

In the back of my mind In the fading light In the rain In the dead of the night When it all goes quiet In the pain You're weaving through my dreams Until I wake And the moments fly by But the memory always remains
