The Last Days of Rock & Roll Lyrics

TOO HARD (S.Moor)

Do you believe in love, I’m talking love at first sight?

It’s enough to make you change over night

Think you’ve found the one

You turn around she’s gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.

Loving you is too hard, I’m broken on a wheel

Don’t you know it’s too hard, loving you the way I do.

I knew it right from the start, that you were gonna break my heart

Should have walked away. Now I wish that I could stay

Don’t seem so long ago, I let you go, I let you go, you walked away.

Loving you is too hard, I’m broken on a wheel

Don’t you know it’s too hard, loving you the way I do

Don’t you know it’s too hard, I’m broken on a wheel

Don’t you know it’s too hard, loving you the way I do.

Stop. Life hasn’t been too kind, never had a chance, never had the time

Hold on, my dear, never got to say the words you wanna hear.

Loving you is too hard, I’m broken on a wheel

Don’t you know it’s too hard, loving you the way I do

Don’t you know it’s too hard, I’m broken on a wheel

Don’t you know it’s too hard, too hard

Don’t you know it’s too hard, loving you the way I do

Loving you the way I do, loving you the way I do

THE FRENCH GIRL (Ian Tyson / Sylvia Fricker)

Three silver rings, on slim hands waiting

Flash bright in candle light through Sunday’s early morn

We found a room that rainy morning

She took my hand through winding roads that lead me on

Some French red wine when later waking

In her warm hideaway she smiled and combed her hair

She laughed each time I asked her name

Made promises to meet again

But her friends down at the French cafe had no English words for me

So you may find above the border

A girl with silver rings, I never knew her name.

You’re bound to lose, she’s too much for you

She’ll leave you lost one rainy morn

You won’t be the same

She laughed each time I asked her name

Made promises to meet again

But her friends down at the French cafe had no English words for me

She laughed each time I asked her name

Made promises to meet again

But her friends down at the French cafe had no English words for me

She laughed each time I asked her name

Made promises to meet again

But her friends down at the French cafe had no English words for me

THE LAST DAYS OF ROCK & ROLL (J.O'Sullivan / S. Moor)

There’s a dying light in the shadow of the stones

All we used to value is just something else to own

Does anyone remember how to bring it all back home?

Is it any wonder that we all feel so alone?

In the last days of Rock and Roll

The last days of Rock and Roll

The last days, the last days of Rock and Roll

Outside its raining and they say the world will drown

One day the streets of Venice will be the streets of every town

You know the water’s rising and the sun is going down

Will anybody notice when there’s no one else around?

In the last days of Rock & Roll

The last days of Rock & Roll

The last days, the last days of Rock & Roll

He said the dream is over, that it ended long ago

A hundred million Elvis fans, well they could be wrong you know

Once it used to matter; now they only wear the clothes

Now every body’s famous and they’re happy I suppose, I suppose

In the last days of Rock & Roll

The last days of Rock & Roll

The last days, the last days of Rock & Roll

The last days, the last days, the last days, the last days

The last days, the last days of Rock & Roll.

Gonna take it down (take it down)

Gonna let it roll (let it roll)

Gonna take it down (take it down)

Burning in my soul (in my soul)

Gonna take it underground, (take it down)

Within my soul, (in my soul)

Gonna take it underground, (take it down)

the only way I know (way I know)

Ain’t gonna give it up now (give it up)

ain’t gonna let it go (let it go)

I’m gonna take it underground, (take it down)

The only way I know (way I know)

We’re gonna pick it up now (pick it up)

We’re gonna let it roll (let it roll)

We’re gonna raise it up now (raise it up)

We’re gonna rock & roll (rock & roll)

Gonna rock & roll (rock & roll)

Gonna rock & roll (rock & roll)

We’re gonna rock & roll (rock & roll)

Gonna rock & roll (rock & roll) rock & roll

(Woh woh woh woh woh woh), rock & roll

(woh woh woh, woh woh woh) rock & roll

(Woh woh woh woh woh woh), rock & roll

(woh woh woh, woh woh woh) rock & roll

(Last days) rock & roll

(Last days)

JERRY’S CHAIR (J. O'Sullivan)

He’s been gone since the summer, When we all feared the worst

Didn’t know if he’d show his face again

He always joked his health was failing, but he’d never die of thirst

It’s funny but I didn’t see it then

We all act like we don’t know, People come and people go

We all gotta go sometime

The old boys are back again, they always got some time to spend

Time to ask another friend, brother tell me what’s your poison?

Nobody sits in Jerry’s Chair,

You gotta show some respect, for a friend who ain’t there

Nobody sits in Jerry’s Chair,

Been around for so long, there ain’t no one who’d dare

It’s been a while, a good few weeks, nobody talks about it

But you can hear the silence speak when a stranger tries to sit

In Jerry’s chair.

Nobody sits in Jerry’s Chair; (in Jerry’s chair)

Nobody sits in Jerry’s Chair, (Jerry’s chair)

Nobody sits in Jerry’s Chair, (Jerry’s chair)

Nobody sits in Jerry’s Chair, (Jerry’s chair)

Nobody sits in Jerry’s Chair,

There’s nobody sitting there...because

Nobody sits in Jerry’s Chair,

You gotta show some respect, for a friend who ain’t there

Nobody sits in Jerry’s Chair,

He’s been around for so long, there ain’t no one who’d dare,

The young folks they don’t know and we’ll forget as time goes by

But I’ll remember I suppose, if they ever ask me why

If you had your time again, to say goodbye to all your friends,

Don’t tell me how the story ends, brother tell me what’s your poison

Nobody sits in Jerry’s Chair, Nobody sits in Jerry’s Chair,

Nobody sits in Jerry’s Chair, Yeah there’s nobody sitting there

It’s just a chair, that’s plain to see, but it’s where he used to be

HERE WE GO AGAIN (R. Davies)

Maybe you’re a poor man waiting for a break,

a drunken desperado on the make

Maybe you’re a soldier carrying a gun,

Maybe you’re a rich man who’s lying in the sun

Oh here we are again, crying into our drinks talkin bout the government

Empires rise, empires fall, people come and go

And some others they just hang around, cos they wanna see the show

Oh here we are again,

crying into our drinks talking bout the government

Funny how the faces change, things they’re saying are still the same

Alright, whoo

Oh here we are again, crying into our drinks, talkin bout the government

Funny how the faces change,

things they’re saying are still the same, still the same

Oh here we are again, crying into our drinks, talkin bout the government

Oh here we are again, crying into our drinks, talkin bout the government
