Bay City Rollers

The Bay City Rollers were a Scottish pop band whose popularity was highest in the 1970s. The British Hit Singles & Albums noted that they were "tartan teen sensations from Edinburgh", and were "the first of many acts heralded as the 'Biggest Group since The Beatles' and one of the most screamed-at teeny-bopper acts of the 1970s". For a relatively brief but fervent period (nicknamed "Rollermania"), they were worldwide teen idols. The group's line-up featured numerous changes over the years, but the classic line-up during its heyday included guitarists Eric Faulkner and Stuart Wood, singer Les McKeown, bassist Alan Longmuir, and drummer Derek Longmuir. more »

I had a dream when I started out
Get out of school and buy a guitar
I had a band with a thousand names
And people said that I was star.

I gotta get up on the stage
And get myself on the hit parade.

'Cause I'm playing in a rock and roll band
And it's the only thing that I understand
Yes, I'm playing in a rock and roll band
And now I've got someone to give me a hand.

'Cause I'm playing in a rock, playing in a rock
Play in a rock and roll band.

The band rehearsed every day and night
And everything was coming on strong
Played Anaheim when the time was right
And all I had to play was this song.

And I could feel electricity
The lights so bright I could hardly see.

'Cause I'm playing in a rock and roll band
And it's the only thing that I understand
Yes, I'm playing in a rock and roll band
And now I've got someone to give me a hand.

'Cause I'm playing in a rock, playing in a rock
Play in a rock and roll band.

It started out so long ago
A kid in school into rock and roll
You couldn't get it out of your head
You heard a voice and all it said was 

It's gonna be alright into the late, late night
You wanna rock and roll all night.

Playing in a rock and roll band
And it's the only thing that I understand
Yes, I'm playing in a rock and roll band
And now I've got someone to give me a hand.

'Cause I'm playing in a rock, playing in a rock
Play in a rock and roll band
Play in a rock and roll band
Play in a rock and roll band.
