Parade - Galahad

Gershwin’s lost his melody

Louis has lost his brass

Poor old Nat King Cole

Has lost his backstage pass

The band stand waiting for a cue

Just to play for you again

Jimi baby going crazy

While Elvis is getting fat

Freddie’s nails are cracking snails

Peter’s make-up is running

Through the gallery, the history

Our music hall of fame, again

And we’re drowning in a river of past reflection

Caught in the rapids, getting trapped between the rocks

H2O — as clear as daylight

Memories — as clear as daylight

They come flooding back

Flooding back to me, for free!

There’s little John with the squeaky voice

Is he coming out to play?

Oh!

And there’s thoughtful Roger

You know, I never understood a word he had to say

But the band stand waiting for the cue

Just to play for you again, and again

And we’re drowning in a river of past reflection

Caught in the rapids, getting trapped between the rocks

H2O — as clear as daylight

Memories — as clear as daylight

They come flooding back

Flooding back to me, always for free!

SEE THE PARADE…

Flooding back

Flooding back

Flooding back

Flooding back

Flooding back

Flooding back to me

Always for free

Go!

Ritchie B with his cold cup of tea

I’ve seen those photos too

Kathy’s dreaming

Is she still screaming

I’m not sure that she can get through

There’s little Mick with his long, shiny stick

He’s going to blow you all away

These were the heroes with charisma and style

Where are the heroes for today?

And we’re drowning in a river of past reflection

Caught in the rapids, getting trapped between the rocks

H2O — as clear as daylight

Memories — as clear as daylight

They come flooding back

Flooding back to me, always for free!

And we’re drowning in a river of past reflection

Caught in the rapids, getting trapped between the rocks

H2O — as clear as daylight

Memories — as clear as daylight

They come flooding back

Flooding back to me, always for free!

There’s no one left to lead the parade
