  • Song Lyrics » M » Mott The Hoople » Ballad Of Mott (march 26th 1972 Zurich) Lyrics
    (ian hunter/overend watts/mick ralphs/verden allen/dale griffin)

    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
