Lyrics

And so norman decides to stop living
Out his fantasy of being a rock star and
Accept reality. this is the end for
Norman but not for us because there
Will always be someone ready to take
His place -- after all, euerybody's a
Star!

You can't stop the music

Let's all raise a glass
To the rock stars of the past
Those that made it
Those that faded
Those that never even made the grade
Those that we thought would never last

Singers come and go
And stars fade away
They vanish in the haze
And they're never seen again
But the music just keeps playing on

They can't stop the music
They can't stop the music
They can't stop the music playing on

I've been half a million places
I've seen half a million people who stare
I've been a star and down and out
I've been put on, sat on, punched and spat on
They've called me a faggot, a spiv and a fake
They can knock me down and tread on my face
They can't stop the music playing on

Let's all raise a glass
To the rock stars of the past
Those that made it
Those that faded
Those that never even made the grade
Those that we thought would never last

Singers come and go
And stars fade away
They vanish in the haze
And they're never seen again
But they can't stop the music playing on
