Ballad of Mott The Hoople |
| I changed my name in search of fame |
| To find the midas touch |
| Oh I wish Id never wanted then |
| What I want now twice as much |
| We crossed the mighty oceans |
| And we had a few divides |
| But we never crossed emotion |
| For we felt too much inside |
| You know all the tales we tell |
| You know the band so well |
| Still I feel, somehow, we let you down |
| We went off somewhere on the way |
| And now I see we have to pay |
| The rocknroll circus is in town |
| Buffin lost his child-like dreams |
| And mick lost his guitar |
| And verden grew a line or two |
| And overends just a rocknroll star |
| Behind these shades the visions fade |
| As I learn a thing or two |
| Oh but if I had my time again |
| You all know just what Id do Rocknrolls a losers game |
| It mesmerises and I cant explain |
| The reasons for the sights and for the sounds |
| We went off somewhere on the way |
| And now I see we have to pay |
| The rocknroll circus is in town |
| So rocknrolls a losers game |
| It mesmerises and I cant explain |
| The reasons for the sights and for the sounds |
| The greasepaint still sticks to my face |
| So what the hell, I cant erase |
| The rocknroll feeling from my mind |
| From my mind… from my mind… from my mind |
| From my miiiiiind… from my miiiiind… from my miiiiiiiiind |
| From my miiiiiiiiiiiind |
