And the Band Plays Songtext
von Take That

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Oh, oh (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
Oh, oh (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Oh, oh (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)

If life was simple
Every day, like Sunday afternoon
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
There′d be no reason
To wake up, fight back, be a better you
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Come dance by the fire
'Til you′re feeling higher than the State of Empire
Let that New York feeling kill your pain into your ears
Let the rhythm dry your tears as the world stops


And the band plays
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
Walk into the light all of a sudden
And the band plays
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
Always making something out of nothing
Turn your heartache into loving
And the band plays

Oh, oh (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Oh, oh (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
Oh, oh (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Oh, oh (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)

Beware the straight roads
Or they'll catch you sleeping at the wheel
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
The warning sirens are more than sounds
There's something you can feel
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Come let down your hair
Let your despair be shared, you can dance in your bed
Let that downtown feeling kill your pain and all your fears
Let the rhythm dry your tears as the work stops, oh


And the band plays
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
Walk into the light all of a sudden
And the band plays
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
We′re always making something out of nothing
Turn your heartache into loving
And the band plays

And the band plays (boom-boom-boom, pow-wow-wow)
Crashing on the symbols
And the band plays (boom-boom-boom, pow-wow-wow)
Can you hear the trumpets screaming at the trombones?
Oh!
Walk into the light all of a sudden
And the band plays
You know, we′re always making something out of nothing
Turn your heartache into loving
And the band plays

Oh, oh (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Oh, oh (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
Oh, oh (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Oh, oh (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
