Galahad - Parade lyrics

Gershwin's lost his melody Louis has lost his bra** Poor old Nat King Cole Has lost his backstage pa** The band stand waiting for a cue Just to play for you again Jimi baby going crazy While Elvis is getting fat Freddie's nails are cracking snails Peter's make-up is running Through the gallery, the history Our music hall of fame, again And we're drowning in a river of past reflection Caught in the rapids, getting trapped between the rocks H2O - as clear as daylight Memories - as clear as daylight They come flooding back Flooding back to me, for free! There's little John with the squeaky voice Is he coming out to play? Oh! And there's thoughtful Roger You know, I never understood a word he had to say But the band stand waiting for the cue Just to play for you again, and again And we're drowning in a river of past reflection Caught in the rapids, getting trapped between the rocks H2O - as clear as daylight Memories - as clear as daylight They come flooding back Flooding back to me, always for free! SEE THE PARADE... Flooding back Flooding back Flooding back Flooding back Flooding back Flooding back to me Always for free Go! Ritchie B with his cold cup of tea I've seen those photos too Kathy's dreaming Is she still screaming I'm not sure that she can get through There's little Mick with his long, shiny stick He's going to blow you all away These were the heroes with charisma and style Where are the heroes for today? And we're drowning in a river of past reflection Caught in the rapids, getting trapped between the rocks H2O - as clear as daylight Memories - as clear as daylight They come flooding back Flooding back to me, always for free! And we're drowning in a river of past reflection Caught in the rapids, getting trapped between the rocks H2O - as clear as daylight Memories - as clear as daylight They come flooding back Flooding back to me, always for free! There's no one left to lead the parade
