Ray Thomas and Nicky James)



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 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



Well I've sworn that I'd been in this place before

yes I wrote my name on the dressing 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



(one night stand)

(one night stand)



And it's all for the music

love is in the band

freedom (freedom) we command

on a one night stand



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 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



Well I've sworn that I'd been in this place before

yes I wrote my name on the dressing room wall

it was another band on a one night stand

(up and down the land on a one night stand)

(up and down the land on a one night stand)



Yes it's all for the music (up and down the land on a one night stand)

love is in the band (up and down the land on a one night stand)

(up and down the land on a one night

stand)

It's all for the music (up and down the land on a one night stand)

love is in the band (up and down the land on a one night stand)

(up and down the land on a one night

stand)

Yes it's all for the music (up and down the land on a one night stand)
