THE BALLAD OF MOTT THE HOOPLE(Album Version) - Mott The Hoople

作曲：Ian Hunter/O. Watts/M. Ralphs/V. Allen/T. Griffin

i changed my name in search of fame

to find the midas touch

oh i wish i'd never wanted then

what i want now twice as much

we crossed the mighty oceans

and we had a few divides

but we never crossed emotion

for we felt too much inside

you know all the tales we tell

you know the band so well

still i feel somehow we let you down

we went off somewhere on the way

and now i see we have to pay

the rock'n'roll circus is in town

buffin lost his child-like dreams

and mick lost his guitar

and verden grew a line or two

and overend's just a rock'n'roll star

behind these shades the visions fade

as i learn a thing or two

oh but if i had my time again

you all know just what i'd do

rock'n'roll's a loser's game

it mesmerizes and i can't explain

the reasons for the sights and for the sounds

we went off somewhere on the way

and now i see we have to pay

the rock'n'roll circus is in town

so rock'n'roll's a loser's game

it mesmerizes and i can't explain

the reasons for the sights and for the sounds

the greasepaint still sticks to my face

so what the hell i can't erase

the rock'n'roll feeling from my mind

from my mind from my mind from my mind

from my mind from my mind from my mind

from my mind
