Rainbow - The Ronnie James Dio Story - Mightier Than the Sword

Long Live Rock 'n' Roll

This is a song called, "Long Live Rock 'n' Roll", this one
Rock 'n' roll!

At the end of a dream
If you know where I mean
When the mist just starts to clear
In a similar way
At the end of today
I can feel the sound of writing on the wall

It cries for you
It's the least that you can do
Like a spiral on the wind
I can feel it screamin' in my mind

Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll

In a different time
When the words didn't rhyme
You could never quite be sure
On with the change
Simple but strange
You knew the feeling seemed to say it all

It cries for you
The love I'm tryna do
Like a spiral on the wind
I can feel it screamin' in my mind

Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
I'm losing control, yeah, yeah

Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll

If you suddenly see
What has happened to me
You should spread the word around
Tell everyone here
It's so clear
Rise above it all on what they've found

It cries for you
Hey, what did you do?
Like a spiral on the wind
I can feel it screamin' in my mind

Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Oh, let it live
Oh, alright

Can we ask you to do us a favour at this point?
Right, get those hands together
Clap 'em up
Don't rush
Ah yes

I tell you what
I will sing something, what I'd like to do
Is to sing it just after me, alright?
So we'll try one first, we'll try the first one
Keep those hands up

Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll, yeah
Try again
Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll, yeah
(Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll, yeah)
Better, little bit, climbin'
Again, loud

Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll, yeah
(Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll, yeah) good, again
Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll, yeah
(Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll, yeah) again!
Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll, yeah
(Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll, yeah)

Oh, very good, you've got it
I think they've got it, Davey
Now we'll try this one
Keep those hands up, do this

Long live rock 'n' roll
(Long live rock 'n' roll) alright!
Long live rock 'n' roll, come on!
(Long live rock 'n' roll) one more!
Long live rock 'n' roll
(Long live rock 'n' roll) very nice

Great, you're great
How you can sing this late in the evening, I'll never know
Which applies to me as well, I think
Here we go

Live, live, live
Live, live

Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll

Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll

Give it up, give it up, give it up
It's alright, yeah
Rock 'n' roll, oh
Oh we're makin' free love, yeah

Live, live, live, live
We're gonna rock 'n' roll
Rock 'n' roll
Rock 'n' roll

Rock
Rock
Rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Let it live

Thank you, alright, alright
Thank you so much, you were great
