lyrics
“Rock Show”
v1: blastin’ tunes, makin’ time
burning rubber down highway 9
avoiding traffic, door to door
big-time dreams and power chords
pre-chorus: it’s all right we got it under control
one more rehearsal, then it’s on with the show
curtain call, now we’re ready to roll
chorus: gonna put on a rock show, rock show
it’s the glorious sound and it’s all going down at our rock show, rock show
where the music is loud and you’re a part of the crowd
got your tickets in hand, all the boys in the band they wanna
thank you, thank you for coming to our...rock show
v2: step right up, we’re on real soon
get those axes all in tune, drag those amps onto the stage
test those mics, now we’re ready to play
chorus 2: gonna put on a rock show, rock show
double time to the beat, grab a front row seat at the rock show
hear the crowd scream along “give us one more song”
got your tickets in hand, all the boys in the band they wanna
thank you, thank you for coming to our...rock show
bridge: rock show, rock show
somebody help me find my way to the stage
v3: I got you and you got me
we’re in this together, most definitely
we got static, we got noise
you’re rippin’ it up like one of the boys
outro: gonna put on a rock show just for you
critics gonna rave, we’re front page news
c-c-c-c-c-c-coming to a town near you where practice makes perfect

XTC had their moment in time...this recording extends it...Full of small, tight , quirky songs it juz rolls along. Recommended but maybe only for XTC fans.. cwhitney
Power Pop nirvana from beginning to end! "One Hit Wonder" sounds like a lost Raspberries classic! You can't go wrong with any Nick Piunti album. baseballdi
