The lights go down, the band prepares,

The scene is set, we're here to sell our wares

And we know that truth is an ever guiding light

So we sing our songs each and every night.

Do you know it, can you feel it, do you understand

What it's like to be living in a rock 'n' roll band

Up and down the land on a one night stand?



I could have sworn that I'd been in this place before.

Yes, I wrote my name on the dresing room wall;

It was another band, on a one night stand.



And it's all for the music;

Love is in the band

And freedom we command

On a one night stand.
