It was fun to write something in a 70's brit rock style (especially with a '72 4001). All crits and comments welcome.http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_so ... ID=6381521
Lyrics: Big Jim Merrilees
Music: Mark Kaufman
The band took up their places and we began to play.
It was just another audience, just another day.
We played on “Autopilot” for most of the first set.
Then we upped the tempo, a thing we would regret.
Chorus
It was just another audience, just another day.
Just another dollar, trying to make some pay.
Do it all tomorrow.Do it everyday.
Just another dollar,just another day.
“Rock and Roll” played loudly gets dancers on the floor.
We didn’t notice gangs just inside the door.
Then came a dreaded signal on that cold and fateful night.
It meant c’mon everybody, everybody fight.
Chorus
We just kept on playing like we had done all night.
We even played much louder to drown out the fight.
Then a flash of steel, a battle cry, then a deathly yell,
the enemy had been cornered and he was sent to hell.
Chorus
Fists and tables were flying and chairs sailed through the air.
Somebody was dying but people didn’t care.
The cops were called but they came too late
to save that poor man’s life.
They had to tell the story to that poor man’s grieving wife.
Chorus
When it was all over we surveyed the scene.
Spilled beer and blood and broken chairs
were where the fight had been.
We had to leave, get out of there, we couldn’t take much more,
silently and quickly we sneaked out of the back door.
Final Chorus
It was just another audience Just another day
What a way to earn a dollar What a way to earn some pay.
Do it all tomorrow. Do it everyday Just another dollar, just another day.
