You Can't Stop the Music - The Kinks

And so Norman decides to stop living

out his fantasy of being a rock star and

accept reality.

This is the end for

Norman but not for us because there

will always be someone ready to take

his place -- after all, euerybody’s a star!

You Can’t Stop The Music

Let’s all raise a glass

To the rock stars of the past,

Those that made it,

Those that faded,

Those that never even made the grade,

Those that we thought would never last.

Singers come and go,

And stars fade away.

They vanish in the haze

And they’re never seen again,

But the music just keeps playing on.

They can’t stop the music,

They can’t stop the music,

They can’t stop the music playing on.

I’ve been half a million places,

I’ve seen half a million people who stare,

I’ve been a star and down and out,

I’ve been put on, sat on, punched and spat on,

They’ve called me a faggot, a spiv and a fake,

They can knock me down and tread on my face,

They can’t stop the music playing on.

Let’s all raise a glass

To the rock stars of the past,

Those that made it,

Those that faded,

Those that never even made the grade,

Those that we thought would never last.

Singers come and go,

And stars fade away.

They vanish in the haze

And they’re never seen again,

But they can’t stop the music playing on.
