(Ray Thomas and Nicky James)  The lights go down the band prepares  the scene is set we're here to sell our wares  and we know that truth is an ever guiding light  so we sing our songs each and every night  Do you know can you feel it do you understand  what it's like to be living in a rock 'n roll band  up and down the land on a one night stand  Well I've sworn that I'd been in this place before  yes I wrote my name on the dressing room wall  it was another band on a one night stand  And it's all for the music  love is in the band  and freedom we command  on a one night stand   (one night stand)   (one night stand)  And it's all for the music  love is in the band  freedom (freedom) we command  on a one night stand  The lights go down the band prepares  the scene is set we're here to sell our wares  and we know that truth is an ever guiding light  so we sing our songs each and every night  Do you know can you feel it do you understand  what it's like to be living in a rock 'n roll band  up and down the land on a one night stand  Well I've sworn that I'd been in this place before  yes I wrote my name on the dressing room wall  it was another band on a one night stand  (up and down the land on a one night stand)  (up and down the land on a one night stand)  Yes it's all for the music (up and down the land on a one night stand)  love is in the band (up and down the land on a one night stand)   (up and down the land on a one night  stand)  It's all for the music (up and down the land on a one night stand)  love is in the band (up and down the land on a one night stand)   (up and down the land on a one night  stand)  Yes it's all for the music (up and down the land on a one night stand)  ------------------------------------------------------------
