They Played Rock and Roll

Paul Quinn (Saxon), Nibbs Carter, Nigel Glockler, Doug Scarratt, Biff Byford

When the bomber flew it was '79
Make no mistake it was their time
Living fast and free the only way to be
The world was on the street
They were the boys to beat

And they played rock and roll
They played rock and roll

They took no sleep the tour rolled on
To hammersmith their battle song
Everything over the top
Giving it all till you drop
Adrenaline, leather and sweat
No one would ever forget

They played rock and roll
They played rock and roll

Dealing the ace releasing the power
The 80's were here this was the hour
Decibels crushing your brain
The closer you get to the pain
Night after night on the road
Falling asleep with the sun

Bass like thunder drums of steel
Guitars of fury with lightning fear
Living fast and free the only way to be
The word was on the street
They were the boys to beat

And they played rock and roll
They played rock and roll
They played rock and roll
They played rock and roll
