- The following written by Pete Townsend, performed by THE WHO:
-
- LONG LIVE ROCK
-
- I'm tellin' you the story of the scene was changin'
- Been gone rock was pushin out and scrapin' [very muddy line]
- We were the first band to vomit in the park
- And find the distance to the stage to far.
- Meanwhile it's gettin' late, ten o'clock
- Rock is dead they say...
- Long live rock!
-
- LONG LIVE ROCK!
- I need it every night.
- LONG LIVE ROCK!
- Come on and join the line.
- LONG LIVE ROCK!
- Be it dead or alive.
-
- People walk inside,
- they're pretending that they're leavin'
- We put on our makeup
- And work out all the lead-ins
- Scalpers in the alley
- selling tickets to the [something I didn't catch]
- Promoter in the pay-box
- Wonderin' where the band's gone
- Back in the parking lot (?)
- He starts the clock...
- Meanwhile it's gettin' late, ten o'clock
- Rock is dead they say...
- Long live rock!
-
- LONG LIVE ROCK!
- I need it every night.
- LONG LIVE ROCK!
- Come on and join the line.
- LONG LIVE ROCK!
- Be it dead or alive.
-
- Dance slide rock's a fallin'
- Fallin down by our very heads
- He tried but you were yawnin'
- Look again...rock is dead...
- Rock is dead...
- Rock is dead...
-
- Place is really jumpin'
- To the high-watt amps
- And twenty-inch cymbals
- Really cut the lamps
- In the blackout the dance
- Right into th aisle
- As the door flies open
- Even the promoter smiles
- Someone takes his pants off
- And the rafters knock
- Rock is dead they say...
- Long live rock!
- Long live rock!
- Long live rock!
-
- LONG LIVE ROCK!
- LONG LIVE ROCK!
- LONG LIVE ROCK!
- LONG LIVE ROCK!
- LONG LIVE ROCK!
-
- LONG LIVE ROCK!
- I need it every night
