Lyrics for The Chequered Flag Dead Or Alive by Tull Jethro:
| | | Artist: | Tull Jethro |
| | Album: | Too Old To Rock N Roll | | Track: | The Chequered Flag Dead Or Alive | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 74 | | | | Lyrics: | The disk brakes drag
The Chequered Flag sweeps across the oil-slick track
The young man's
home, dry as a bone
His helmet off, he waves: the crowd waves back
One lap victory roll.
Gladiator soul
The taker of the day in winning has to say
Isn't it grand to be
playing to the stand, dead or alive
The sunlight streaks through the curtain
tracks
Touches the old man where he sleeps
The nurse brings up a cup of tea - two
biscuits
And the morning paper mystery
The hard road's end, the white God's send is nearer
everyday
In dying the old man says
Isn't it grand to be playing to the stand, dead
or alive
The still-born child can't feel the rain
As the Chequered Flag falls once
again
The deaf composer completes his final score
He'll never hear his sweet
encore
The Chequered Flag, the bull's red rag
The lemming-hearted running ever-faster to
the shore singing
Isn't it grand to be playing to the stand, dead or alive | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
