[ Byford / Quinn / Oliver / Dawson /Gill ]

Just before dawn in the cold light

We came out of the night
A great expectation from the man who ran the show
Will it rain, will it snow, will it shine, we don't know

Are there clouds up in the sky

We sat in the sun, woah-oh-oh

And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on


See the people, feel the power
There was sixty thousand there

Just like thunder the crowds began to roar
Where you there, did ya know, did ya see all the show
There was magic in the air


We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh
And the bands played on

And the bands played on
And the bands played on


See the rainbow shining brightly
Shooting rockets to the sky
Making music and it rolled on through the night

You could hear on the air rock n' roll everywhere
We were strangers in the night


We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh
And the bands played on
And the bands played on

And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
