Ballad Of Mott March 26th 1972 Zurich lyrics

I changed my name in search of fame
To find the Midas touch
Oh I wish I`d never wanted then
What I want now twice as much
We crossed the mighty oceans
And we had a few divides
But we never crossed emotion
For we felt too much inside

You know all the tales we tell
You know the band so well
Still I feel, somehow, we let you down
We went off somewhere on the way
And now I see we have to pay
The rock`n`roll circus is in town

Buffin lost his child-like dreams
And Mick lost his guitar
And Verden grew a line or two
And Overend`s just a rock`n`roll star
Behind these shades the visions fade
As I learn a thing or two
Oh but if I had my time again
You all know just what I`d do

Rock`n`roll`s a loser`s game
It mesmerises and I can`t explain
The reasons for the sights and for the sounds
We went off somewhere on the way
And now I see we have to pay
The rock`n`roll circus is in town

So Rock`n`roll`s a loser`s game
It mesmerises and I can`t explain
The reasons for the sights and for the sounds
The greasepaint still sticks to my face
So what the hell, I can`t erase
The rock`n`roll feeling from my mind

From my mind?.from my mind?.from my mind
From my miiiiiind?.from my miiiiind?.from my miiiiiiiiind
From my miiiiiiiiiiiind
