Young man made it to the city

Searching through the wet streets

Looking for a rock 'n' roll band

Caught the rip off train to freedom

A line of agents holding out their hand



Work your arses off forever

Midnight highways really bring you down

But you're there and you're working

So don't complain so many miss the train



Chorus Find a sound lay it down

They say it's underground

Starts to sell do it well

But you never can tell







Now the young man's star shines brightly

Breaking hearts his records in the charts

Finds it hard to freak twice nightly

Falls in love the hardest fall of all



Chorus



He was just a lonely boy

A very well known clown

He was just a lonely boy and down



Chorus
