Mott The Hoople - Rose Lyrics






It ain't so long ago since we were just two kids
Remember well memories we all hid
But you're much older now, although you still are young
I know you well, I'm like you

Hey Rose, you're finer than you know
Why hang around with clothes of another name
Hair so dyed she lost too much inside
Ain't nothing left to hide in the game

Hey Rose, how do you laugh in your own show
Try to fight the fears that rise within
Rock 'n' roll slag, oh my, you're such a drag
Trying to find the corner to inject

Hey Rose, so silently she goes
Careful not to make up, see your maker

Hey Rose, how do you laugh when she's on show
Try to fight the fears that rise within
Hey, rock 'n' roll slag, oh oh, you're such a drag
Trying to find the corner to inject

Hey Rose, you're finer than you know
And I hate to see you cold on a summer day

    Mott the Hoople was the best band in the early 70's long live Ian Hunter hall of fame is a bad joke with him not in it!

    I love Mott The Hoople - an amazing band. Best band on Gods Earth and don't you for get it! Well, I remember my mum shouting upstairs on the top of her voice to turn the bloody noise down - I was playing Honaloochie Boogie at full blast and so I comprimised, by turning the record over to play Rose - an amazing song. Am still listening to it even today. Sure am like you - love the music. Sad day today as I hear of the news of Dale Griffin passing. Rest in Peace Buffin
