Waiting for the Band Songtext
von Gary Kemp

Running up the backstreets
Looking for the stage-door
Laughing ′cause we felt so high
Imagining their shadows
Hoping that we'd see more
So crazy, we could touch the sky

We were kids and we were bold
Never thought that we′d grow old
We were waiting for the band
Waiting for the band...

Painting up our faces proved our dedications
A clockwork gang that hit the night
Pushing through the crowd
A devoted congregation
Bathing in the spill of light

We were ready to engage
Our heads turned up to the stage
We were waiting for the band
Waiting for the band...


We were kids and we were bold
Never thought that we'd grow old
We were waiting for the band
Waiting for the band
To come on
To come on
To come on

Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on

Waiting for the band
Waiting for the band
Waiting for the band
Waiting for the band

We give you our hands tonight
We're a sea of screaming love
You′re a blazing angel who bestrides us all
It could never be more than enough...

Walking up the backstreets
Searching for their shadows
Some have left forever now
Did I really love you?
Was it real?
Well, who knows?
The ghosts still play here anyhow


Even though we′re all estranged
I never really felt shortchanged
I'm still waiting for the band
Waiting for the band
Still waiting for the band
Waiting for the band...
To come on
