Yardbirds, The - Stroll On Lyrics






Strollin' on,
'Cos it's all gone,
The reason why.
You made me cry,
By tellin' me,
You didn't see.
The future bore,
Our love no more.
If you want to know,
I love you so,
And I don't want to let you go.

I'm strollin' on,
Gonna make you see.
I'm strollin' on,
You'll find you really love me.
I'm strollin' on,
Be your turn to cry.
I'm strollin' on,
You wish you'd never lied.
You're going to change your mind,
But you ain't gonna find,
Any more of my kind.

I'm strollin' on,
'Cos it's all gone,
The reason why.
You made me cry,
By tellin' me,
You didn't see.
The future bore,
Our lovin' no more.
If you want to know,
I love you so,
I don't want to let you go.

I'm strollin' on,
Gonna make you see.
I'm strollin' on,
You'll find you really love me.
I'm strollin' on,
Be your turn to cry.
I'm strollin' on,
You wish you'd never lied.
You're going to change your mind,
But you ain't gonna find,
Any more of my kind.

Yardbirds, The Stroll On Comments
  1. T.... L....

    Se existisse mercado livre, ele poderia vender esse pedaço de guitarra por uns 10 mil reais e era capaz de alguém comprar

  2. B.... M....

    This is my favorite version of this song.

  3. M.... ....

    What a great song! I believe Aerosmith got inspired with this and made “Train Kept A Rollin”

  4. R.... F....

    Maybe I didn't see the reference in the comments...But the first time heard the song was when Aerosmith did it in 1973 on their great 1974 GET YOUR WINGS lp.
    I was a disc jockey at the U. Of Iowa. The year 1973 was a great year for new 1st lps. AEROSMITH, Montrose,BTO, Queen and Kiss to name a few.

  5. M.... S....

    Acid Rock.

  6. R.... L....

    The scene is about alienation FFS

  7. c.... ....

    I wonder who has that guitar neck now?

  8. C.... F....

    The crowd looks dead like zombies.

    C.... F....

    That's the idea...it's Antonioni.

    C.... F....

    Lsd, pot

  9. J.... R....

    JEFF BECK.

  10. W.... B....

    visorman99 - The story is this: Antonioni approached the Who's management (Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp, owners of Track Records) about the Who doing the role. Stamp in turn asked Yardbirds manager Simon Napier-Bell what he thought Antonio should be charged. Napier-Bell apparently said (the ridiculously high sum of) £10,000, which Antonioni flatly refused. At that point Napier-Bell stepped in and offered the Yardbirds for substantially less. The other lads invested their earnings; Jeff purchased a car. I have never seen any mention of the Velvet Undergound, though what I have seen was all based on Jeff Beck and Yardbirds recollections. If the Velvets had been asked, possibly nobody except Antonio and the band were even aware.

  11. E.... L....

    Page & Beck rockin' the place out!

    E.... L....

    Some cinema museum

  12. 3.... ....

    For the Brits interested see if you can spot both Michael Palin and Janet Street-Porter in the audience?

    3.... ....

    Can we do that if we're not Brits or will they be invisible?

    3.... ....

    @Clemdane pretty sure they invisible

  13. W.... B....

    It's been AGES!

  14. C.... C....

    Did the director not want the who?

    C.... C....

    Actually, he originally wanted the Rolling Stones. Cheers Captain Clegg!

    C.... C....

    @Robert Banks he wanted the who originally but they turned it down

    C.... C....

    @flat cat You're Right! It was their loss! LOL! Cheers Flat Cat! Happy First Tuesday 2020!

  15. S.... L....

    I fucking love this scene so much. A generation desensitized by war and suffering is finally given an outlet to express themselves and they have no idea what to do with this newfound freedom. Antonioni is master of using silence to communicate more than words ever could.

    S.... L....

    Except that is not how the crowd at such a club would have behaved. For better or worse they expressed themselves by protesting the Vietnam war and joining hippie communes etc. And those kids were too young to recall WWII, which ended in 1945 (this is 1966 or so.)

    S.... L....

    I always wondered as to the symbolism behind this. For a couple minutes, the audience was motionless and expressionless, like zombies. Then, without warning, they go wild and start moshing. Made no sense to me at all when I first saw this.

    S.... L....

    @Carl HorowitzI guess you could try out a bunch of interpretations. I had a professor who interpreted every scene as contrasting appearance with reality.

  16. H.... S....

    What jacket was Jeff Beck wearing ?

    H.... S....

    mill spec

  17. S.... M....

    Funny, the majority of the sad English kids stand there "appreciating the music with all the enthusiasm of stone statues, while the few who are dancing make you wish they would not. Like an ad for constipation relief. Among my 5 top 60's bands, however--this lineup, especially!

    S.... M....

    I think it's down to the direction the kids were given while watching the band performing to the playback.

    S.... M....

    Don't you realise this was direction for the film ….. atmospheric effect. Jesus yanks don't get anything subtle.

  18. J.... O....

    White denim pants were very much in style at that time!

    J.... O....

    yelp had a pair or 2 in the day.

    J.... O....

    Im getting some now

  19. x.... ....

    all the crowd is missing are cellphones and this is a 2018 rock concert. R.I.P. RocknRoll

  20. c.... ....

    Great scene.

  21. R.... ....

    I first saw this strange film around 1980 on The Movie Channel and I was a very young child and I thought this was a strange film. I had no idea how old it was but I thought it all looked weird. I did not know about Yardbirds or Zeppelin and I found the film hard to follow.

    I just saw it again last week and while my memories were faint, many scenes I remembered clearly. I had a BETTER understanding of what was going on (after having watched Blowout a few years ago) even though the pacing was slow and the film ultimately resulted in nothing! However, once I saw this scene with the Yardbirds (who I had dismissed as anything great), I did like this song and the guitar playing was strong and I changed my mind on them - only a little.

    I find it odd that their recordings sound like 3rd generation cassette dubs and this song in this film seems to be the only 'hi-fi' recording of their material. Does anyone know why that is? I find it strange that poor recordings would be the best from these guys. Elvis and Buddy Holly from the 50's sounds like they were recorded an hour ago, but these seem as if the masters were lost, or any good quality copy.

    R.... ....

    The movie is a pretentious art film on the theme of appearance and reality. Was there a murder or not? Does it matter? Everything is relative to the perceiver e.g. the value of the smashed guitar.

  22. M.... -....

    Hows Jeff Becks solo the first note sounds like a human voice going whooooo & the hammer ons ...This was the beginning of heavy Metal + Beck justs keeps getting better compred to his peers to date 🤘

  23. c.... m....

    This shit is so dope, still rocks hard as fuck against anything out now over 50 years later

  24. s.... ....

    So Cool!!!!

  25. O.... D....

    кино в целом гениальное о суете и бессмысленности человеческой жизни на фоне которой есть кучи эпизодов и все равнозначны что смерти что концерты что тусовки с девками нелепыми... мне это нравится = все вокруг одно большое дерьмо

  26. �.... ....

    Jimmy Page !!♡♡♡

  27. S.... D....

    Is this the most stilted, limpest guitar smash ever? What a track though!! :)

    S.... D....

    Stephen Davis I believe this is the part, where Jeff Beck quit the yardbirds.

    S.... D....

    @bkrbyex4339 - Jeff didn't want to do the smash; the guitar he used here wasn't even his (word has it that it belonged to pre-Yes Steve Howe), as his were too valuable to him. Also, Jeff didn't quit the Yardbirds; they fired him after he walked out (after smashing up hi guitar in the dressing room) while the band was touring America. After some time in California with his girlfriend (who'd apparently lost interest in him) he went back to London, anticipating that he would reconnect with the band for their European. But fed up with his erratic behavour, the fired him.

  28. F.... G....

    stone cold boring audience not aware that they are watching rock history --- they just stand there...

    F.... G....

    It's not a documentary. It's a piece of stylised film-making - quite deliberate contrast with the music, the two dancers (Janet Street Porter) and the mayhem when he chucks his broken guitar.

    F.... G....

    It's not an actual live concert though. It's from a movie, and those kids are extras who were given direction and were likely there for hours watching the band pretending to play and sing when they're actually just miming to a playback of the song!

    F.... G....

    You don't get it do you idiot!!!!

    F.... G....

    @Dave AllenSome guy was saying that was his sister dancing with the silver coat on. Love the tall ones!

    F.... G....

    @DucksDeLucks There are many Dave Allens (!) so not sure if you meant me, but I do know for sure that SHE is Janet Street-Porter.

  29. Q.... L....

    this crowd went from catatonic to crazy. this is a badass yardbirds song. sounds kinda punk

    Q.... L....

    Quinn Lonchiek-Renehan -They're British..Very sedate. It's why the British Invasion happened. Come over the pond & play for your distant American cousins...

    Q.... L....

    British sedate????????????? Are you joking!!!!!!!! @Tom Edwards

    Q.... L....

    A couple years ago, I saw Ron Howard's great documentary about the Beatles' touring years. The crowd at their concert in Manchester sounded pretty loud and rowdy.

  30. R.... R....

    WTF nobody noticed it's just train keep a rollin'

    R.... R....

    yeah dude, for the last 40 years nobody ever have noticed that this song its 'train kept a rollin' with different lyrics and a stronger riff, you are a fucking genius for noticing that, you should be president or something, maybe king of the world even.

    R.... R....

    emmet emme yes, until areosmith covered it.

    R.... R....

    yes, i would prefer that above the monkey who's presiding now. Anyone goes...esp. with such eye for gorgeous, important details. Killer riff.

    R.... R....

    They didn't want to pay royalties on Train Kept a Rollin by Tiny Bradshaw so Keith Relf rewrote the lyrics for the movie. The Yardbirds version is not that far in spirit from the version by Johnny Burnette Trio.

  31. K.... �....

    jeff beck rocks with his smashing ;)

    K.... �....

    Kamil Łopieński he got po'd when his amp went on the fritz. when he couldn't fix the problem, he started to smash his guitar, and I think, pagey had to switch from bass, to keep the song going.

    K.... �....

    @bkrbyex4339 page played guitar at this time

  32. W.... ....

    No thumbs down as of 12/2016. Sounds about right.

    W.... ....

    Wunkle you might've jinxed it 😬

  33. E.... B....

    If cell phones existed back then, I assume most of them would be using them.

    E.... B....

    Thank god they didn't

  34. B.... T....

    Lol that door with the bob Dylan sign in the beginning crack me up

  35. r.... ....

    That's Jimmy Page AND Jeff Beck!!!

    r.... ....

    ​@Claudia McKenna I went to see them hoping to hear Jeff Beck but he had left and some guy named Jimmy Page had replaced him. I expected the worst but he turned out to be pretty decent.

    r.... ....

    DucksDeLucks —Page played bass until Beck left the band, but - in this movie - isn’t that Roger Daltrey on vocals?

    r.... ....

    @caseyjoanz no Keith Relf

    r.... ....

    Patrice Eyraud —Thank you!

    r.... ....

    My understanding of the rock legend has always been that Jeff Beck, with his artistic temperament, had an actual breakdown onstage, and that’s when Jimmy Page took over as lead guitarist. Pretty much how it’s played out in this scene, although the similarities weren’t intentional. I’ve seen the actual freak-out as it was recorded, and Beck does break shit up, including his guitar. Life imitating art, one might say.

  36. D.... V....

    Michael Palin is NOT in this crowd...

    D.... V....

    Or maybe he is... ;-)

    D.... V....

    Yes he is …… wearing a blazer. Janet Street-Porter is there too.
