Andy Bown - When the Lights Went On Lyrics

I was there when the lights went on
The opening chords to the opening song
The biggest gig that was ever played
It was '85 it was live aid

And the lights went on
Rocking all over the world
The lights went on
I was there when the lights went on

I was there when the lights went on
Major session in London town
Well shake my nerves and rattle my knees
I'm sat right next to Jerry Lee

And the lights went on
Great balls of fire
The lights went on
I was there when the lights went on

I was there when the lights went on
Mr Pink is on the phone
Please to meet him in 1a
Climb the wall and come out to play

And the light went on
Big time, I was that brick
I was there when the lights went on
When the lights went on
I was there when the lights went on
Yes

I was there when the lights went on
Tim Hardin said let's write that song
The bastard borrowed my guitar
Sold it for a bottle of Stolichnaya
Never mind

The lights went on
You don't want to worry about all that
The lights went on
Oh I was there when the lights went on

I was there when the lights went on
All my birthdays came as one
Amazing grace in the Promised Land
The day I shook Chuck Berry's hand

The lights went on
And it was good
Handsome man, brown eyed god
I was there when the lights went on

And the lights went on as I shook their hands
The lights went on, my new best friends
