Gershwin's lost his melody
Louis has lost his brass
Poor old Nat King Cole
Has lost his backstage pass
The band stand waiting for a cue
Just to play for you again
Jimi baby going crazy
While Elvis is getting fat
Freddie's nails are cracking snails
Peter's make-up is running
Through the gallery, the history
Our music hall of fame, again
And we're drowning in a river of past reflection
Caught in the rapids, getting trapped between the rocks
H2O - as clear as daylight
Memories - as clear as daylight
They come flooding back
Flooding back to me, for free!
There's little John with the squeaky voice
Is he coming out to play?
Oh! And there's thoughtful Roger
You know, I never understood a word he had to say
But the band stand waiting for the cue
Just to play for you again, and again
And we're drowning in a river of past reflection
Caught in the rapids, getting trapped between the rocks
H2O - as clear as daylight
Memories - as clear as daylight
They come flooding back
Flooding back to me, always for free!
SEE THE PARADE...
Flooding back
Flooding back
Flooding back
Flooding back
Flooding back
Flooding back to me
Always for free
Go!
Ritchie B with his cold cup of tea
I've seen those photos too
Kathy's dreaming
Is she still screaming
I'm not sure that she can get through
There's little Mick with his long, shiny stick
He's going to blow you all away
These were the heroes with charisma and style
Where are the heroes for today?
And we're drowning in a river of past reflection
Caught in the rapids, getting trapped between the rocks
H2O - as clear as daylight
Memories - as clear as daylight
They come flooding back
Flooding back to me, always for free!
And we're drowning in a river of past reflection
Caught in the rapids, getting trapped between the rocks
H2O - as clear as daylight
Memories - as clear as daylight
They come flooding back
Flooding back to me, always for free!
There's no one left to lead the parade
