lyrics

WAY BACK WHEN IT ALL BEGAN, BEFORE YOU HAD YOUR MASTERPLAN
THE GOLDEN AGE OF ROCK AND ROLL, YOU FELT WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND SOUL
NOTHING EVER MATTERED MORE, YOU THOUGHT YOU REALLY KNEW THE SCORE
THOSE TEENAGE DREAMS WEREN’T MEANT TO LAST, BUT YOU HELD ON TIGHT WHEN
THE WORLD CHANGED FAST

NOW NO ONE HEARS YOU SING THE BLUES
STANDING ALL ALONE IN YOUR ROCK AND ROLL SHOES
YESTER DAY YOU WERE THE NEWS
NOW THE SHINE HAS GONE, FROM YOUR ROCK AND ROLL SHOES

YOU LEFT HOME AT SEVENTEEN, TRIED TO MAKE IT ON THE SCENE
FOR A WHILE YOU HAD SOME FAME, FOR A WHILE THEY KNEW YOUR NAME
BUT YOU SOON GOT LEFT BEHIND, DIDN’T MAKE YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND
FASHIONS CAME AND FASHIONS WENT, ANY MONEY SOON GOT SPENT

NOW NO ONE HEARS YOU SING THE BLUES
STANDING ALL ALONE IN YOUR ROCK AND ROLL SHOES
YESTER DAY YOU WERE THE NEWS
NOW THE SHINE HAS GONE, FROM YOUR ROCK AND ROLL SHOES

THEY PLAYED YOUR RECORD ON THE ALL NIGHT RADIO
OTHER WISE YOU MIGHT HAVE DIED SOME TIME AGO
SOMETIMES YOU FEEL LIKE GIVING UP WHEN YOU FEEL LOW
BUT YOU GOT TO KEEP ON SINGING
GOT TO KEEP ON SINGING

LIVING HARD FROM TOWN TO TOWN, SEE THE BOYBANDS DO THE ROUNDS
MINSTRELS FROM A DIFFERENT AGE, IT WOULD SEEM THEY’RE ALL THE RAGE
SO YOU STAY WITH WHAT YOU KNOW, MOVING ON FROM SHOW TO SHOW
HAPPY THAT YOU WERE AROUND, WHEN THE GOOD STUFF ALL WENT DOWN

NOW NO ONE HEARS YOU SING THE BLUES
STANDING ALL ALONE IN YOUR ROCK AND ROLL SHOES
YESTER DAY YOU WERE THE NEWS
NOW THE SHINE HAS GONE, FROM YOUR ROCK AND ROLL SHOES

NOW NO ONE HEARS YOU SING THE BLUES
STANDING ALL ALONE IN YOUR ROCK AND ROLL SHOES
YESTER DAY YOU WERE THE NEWS
NOW THE SHINE HAS GONE, FROM YOUR ROCK AND ROLL SHOES

about

Allan Barron Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK

Songwriter/Musician based in North East of England.

My favourite music tends to be late 60's/early 70's rock music and late 70's 'new wave'. In particular I like early 70's British Prog rock, as well as the Beatles, Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, the Who, Squeeze and countless others. What this means is I love a good tune.

Whether this has any influence on my own music I'll let the listener decide! ... more
