about

A song about Rock and Roll Musicians mainly from the 1970's who have survived in some form or other

lyrics

VERSE - 1 (HARRY)
Rock and Roll survivor
Your hearings nearly shot
Your an Icon from the seventies
And your memories not so hot
No one comes to visit you
Wouldn’t like it if they did
Your loneliness is company enough
For where your heart has hid

VERSE - 2 (BOBBI)
She worked with all the big stars
She sang with all the greats
And in her swag of memories
Are friends and lifelong mates
The echos of her favourite songs
The highs the lows the tears
Now she spends most every night alone
Among her souvenirs

CHORUS - (HARRY - BOBBI)
They travelled round this country
And shared their love with all
From tiny little two bit rooms
The clubs, the bars, the halls
Stages looked the same each night.
When ya sing your song my friend
Rock and Roll survivor
Do it over again

VERSE - 3 (BOBBI)
Rock and Roll Survivor
In your penthouse on the coast
Your first wife took the money
I guess that hurt the most.
Sold your soul to the devil
And your gitar to the man
You want to do a comeback tour
But just can’t find the band.

VERSE - 4 (HARRY)
She’s an angel in a pretty dress
Or a costume made of feathers
She can move you in her tight blue jeans
And a rock you in her leathers
She now prefers the slow lane
But the passions still inside her
Until now the stories left untold
…….This ladies a survivor

VERSE - 5 (HARRY - BOBBI Alternating)
The curtains close the stage lights dim
And the crowd begin to cheer
A lonely figure leaves the stage
As the final encore nears
They will not, be forgotten
And we long for their return
The other thing that we kn ow will still survive
The music never dies

MARCHINI & YOUNG
Bobbi Marchini and Harry Young are two names well remembered from the 1970’s, but it wasn’t until September 2022 when they were asked to appear on the Ted Mulry Memories Concerts that the two actually met.
This led to them writing and performing this very special original song, fittingly entitled ‘Rock and Roll Survivor”. ... more
