lyrics

THE LAST GREAT ROCK STAR

A shooting star ...A Fantasy ...Frontpage news ...Mythology
Born in the war ...43 ... Art School days to Insanity
Three-button down ... time for the show
Smash that Guitar, READY! STEADY! GO!!

Chorus
Johnny ... Hey! Hey! NA! NA! NA!
Johnny! Johnny! The last great rock star
Jet planes, thrills & fast cars
Johnny! Johnny! The last great rock star

A fairy tale ... A schoolboy’s dream ... A country pile ...A limousine
Trashed hotels & TV screens ... Jesus Christ to a million teens!
Platinum album ... extraordinaire !
Top of the Pops ... Madison Square YEAH!!!

Chorus
Johnny Hey! Hey! NA! NA! NA!
Johnny! Johnny! The last great rock star
Cocaine, pills & dive bars
Johnny! Johnny! The last great rock star
From Tanner's hill to Hollywood Boulevard
From poor boy blues to a Rock n Roll Star

The morning sun really show his age
As evening comes it's time for Yesterday

Chorus
Johnny ... Hey! Hey! NA! NA! NA!
The last great rock star
Get Up... play that guitar
The last great rock star

Johnny ... Hey! Hey! NA! NA! NA!
Johnny! Johnny! The last great rock star.
Cocaine, pills & dive bars
Johnny! Johnny! The last great rock star

The steam train pulls into its breakers Yard
The gambler throws in his final card
They're calling time at his favorite bar
Bye Bye Johnny and his old guitar
Bye Bye Johnny and his old guitar
