Ballad of Mott The Hoople

歌詞

I changed my name in search of fame to find the Midas touch Oh I wish I'd 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 rock n' roll circus is in town Buffin lost his child-like dreams and Mick lost his guitar And Verden grew a line or two and Overend's just a rock n' roll 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 I'd do Rock n' roll's a loser's game, it mesmerizes and I can't 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 rock n' roll circus is in town So rock n' roll's a loser's game, it mesmerizes and I can't explain The reasons for the sights and for the sounds The greasepaint still sticks to my face, so what the hell I can't erase The rock n' roll feeling from my mind From my mind From my mind From my mind ...
