1973

[Verse 1]
Who would ever want to go?
What a shame to ever leave
Soon the blinking on-off fluros
Will have us on the street
Everybody's happy here
I've hardly seen a fight
There's music swimming in my ear
I love the pulsing lights, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
The room is more than half-way filled
The night's a big success
The bands have all been dressed to kill
The third one was the best
And in the break we headed out
To drink three cans of beer
That Jeff had borrowed from his dad
He said he didn't care

[Chorus]
So we rolled a racehorse
And the stars began to fall
But we didn't even look back
And the drums
Filled up the hall

[Verse 3]
I even had the luck to talk with
Wendy from three-e-three
She told me as she left the toilets
She'd go around with me
We stood together at the front
Holding hands, holding hands
Could not believe the Axeman's fingers
As he played, and played, and played

[Chorus]
So we rolled a racehorse
And the stars began to fall
But we didn't even look back
And the drums
Filled up the hall

[Verse 4]
And now the stony lights are hummin'
And we're filing out the door
I hope these kind of nights keep running
'Cause I'll be coming back for more, and more

[Outro]
It was 1973, mm
1973
It was 1973
It was 1973
Mm
It was 1973
It was 1973
