Kings Of Rock

[Booklet notes: Colin wrote the song in the light of the passing of Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. It was written in 1973 and has never previously been recorded. Stewart says, "Play this one for me as my outro on the world".]

The bottle is half-empty; I'm laid down on my bed
And I ask you for your sympathy
Somewhere to rest my head

Turn the light out
And light the candle
Tomorrow might not come
Saw the headlines
Then I heard it on the radio
Said the Kings of Rock are dead
The Kings of Rock
The Kings of Rock are dead
The Kings of Rock
The Kings of Rock are dead
The Kings of Rock
The Kings of Rock are dead

Draw the curtains, entertain me
And make me smile just for a while
I go to fight the lights tomorrow
Carry on whilst I still can
I had a friend who made some money
I had a friend who lost the lot
I got a friend who's got nobody
I got a friend who got the shock
