Down at the Astoria the scene was changing
Bingo and rock were pushing out x-rating
RE RE6 RE RE6 RE RE6 RE RE6
We were the first band to vomit at the bar
LA LA6 LA LA6 LA LA6 LA LA6
And find the distance to the stage too far
MI MI6 MI MI6 MI MI6 MI MI6
Meanwhile it's getting late at ten o'clock
FA SOL RE
Rock is dead they say
A A6 A6 A A D (Same as intro)
Long live rock
Long live rock
I need it every night
RE RE RE
Long live rock
RE RE6 RE RE6 LA LA6
Come on and join the line
FA RE
Long live rock
LA LA6
Be it dead or alive
People walk in sideways pretending that they're leaving
We put on our makeup and work out all the lead-ins
Jack is in the alley selling tickets made in Hong Kong
Promoter's in the pay box wondering where the band's gone
Back in the pub the governor stops the clock
Rock is dead they say
Long live rock
Chorus
MI RE LA
Landslide, rocks are falling
Falling down around our very heads
We tried but you were yawning
MI RE
Look again
DO
Rock is dead
SOL/SI
Rock is dead
LA
Rock is dead
The place is really jumping to the Hiwatt amps
Til a twenty inch cymbal fell and cut the lamps
In the blackout they danced right into the aisle
And as the doors fly open even the promoter smiles
Someone takes his pants off and the rafters knock
Rock is dead they say
Long live rock
LA
Long live rock
I need it every night
(riff for guitar 2)
