Searching through the wet streets
 Looking for a rock 'n' roll band
 Caught the rip off train to freedom
 A line of agents holding out their hand

 Work your arses off forever
 Midnight highways really bring you down
 But you're there and you're working
 So don't complain so many miss the train

 Chorus Find a sound lay it down
 They say it's underground
 Starts to sell do it well
 But you never can tell



 Now the young man's star shines brightly
 Breaking hearts his records in the charts
 Finds it hard to freak twice nightly
 Falls in love the hardest fall of all

 Chorus

 He was just a lonely boy
 A very well known clown
 He was just a lonely boy and down

 Chorus
