Roger William - A Splendid Time Lyrics
I used my time machine to chase a timeless frequencyAnd rode it to the Reeperbahn in Hamburg GermanyOctober1960, thinking it’ll be so coolTo walk into a club and see the bands from LiverpoolI found the Kaiserkeller just by following the noiseThe pounding beat of music, and the rowdy German boysWhen Rory Storm went on a break the other band came onBack then it was Stu and Pete with George, Paul and JohnEven then the lads were good at stirring up a sceneThe girls went wild when John was singing “Sweet Little Sixteen”The drummer from the Hurricanes was sitting on my rightI asked him why they’d come so far to play there every nightHe said they’d go ‘bout anywhere to get a paying gigAnd who knew? Maybe one day some of them would make it bigI raised my glass to him and said “I know that you’ll go far.If someone else is Best, you’re still the one to be a star”.Early in he morning in that gangster neighborhoodI met George, Paul and John and told them, “Hey, you boys are good!But wearing all that leather makes you look like two bit thugs”.When I suggested love beads they said I must be on drugs.I thought of dropping hints about the winding road aheadI let them go on laughing down the Reeperbahn instead
