One For The Record Lyrics

A burning nostalgia
Singes the damp early evening air
As the coffin parades
On to a rain sodden stage
Set down by the bearers in solemn poise
Anticipation mounts, all is still
In this heavily charged atmosphere

We're lost in nostalgia
But look to the future
One for the record
One for the memory...
In to the bowl of human celebration
Steps our hero to ecstacy out front and they know it!
Blinded by the footlights
But he knows just where to face
With a ready rapport, the performance begins
The reunion is almost complete

We're lost in nostalgia
But look to the future
One for the record
One for the memory... Rael arise from your aerosol guise
What a surprise!
But no fox in a frock on the rocks
(What no fox?)
Then in comes the old man
Dare I be so beautiful, just like a flower
A flower!
In the new Jerusalem

On comes the seventh star
The crowds are going crazy
Seven years gone by
It's enough to make you cry
A feeling of déja vu ensues
On the stage once more
The band play on and on and on
In their old shoes
We're lost in nostalgia
But look to the future
One for the record
One for the memory...

We're lost in nostalgia
But look to the future
One for the record
One for the memory...
