作词 :  
Down at the Astoria the
scene was changing,

Bingo and rock were
pushing out X-rating,

We were the first band
to vomit in the bar,
And find the distance
to the stage too far,

Meanwhile it's getting
late at ten o'clock,

Rock is dead they say,

Long live rock.

Long live rock, I need it
every night,

Long live rock, come on
and join the line,

Long live rock, be it dead or alive.

People walk in sideways
pretending that they're leaving,

We put on our makeup
and work out all the lead-ins,

Jack is in the alley selling
tickets made in Hong Kong,
Promoter's in the pay box
wondering where the band's gone,
Back in the pub
the governor stops the clock,

Rock is dead, they say,

Long live rock.

Long live rock, I need it every night,

Long live rock, come on and join the line,

Long live rock, be it dead or alive.

Landslide, rocks are falling,

Falling down 'round our very heads,

We tried but you were yawning,

Look again, rock is dead,

rock is dead, rock is dead.

The place is really jumping
to the high-watt amps,
'Til a 20-inch cymbal fell
and cut the lamps,

In the blackout they dance
right into the aisle,
And as the doors fly open
even the promoter smiles,

Someone takes his pants
off and the rafters knock,

Rock is dead, they say,

Long live rock, long live rock,

long live rock.

Long live rock, long live rock,

long live rock,

Long live rock, long live rock,

long live rock.

Long live rock, I need it every night,

Long live rock, come on and join the line,

Long live rock, be it dead or alive.
