devils in the detail
well my baby came down the mountain
said she'd washed her sins
in a misty fountain
cleansed her very soul
god knows what she's
brought back from the hole
now eddie was sick of 9 till 5's
said man it's enough!
gonna get out of here alive
traded labour for a desk
now he's drowning
in a political mess
chorus#
it's all gone retail
the devils in the detail
it's all falling down
like a tumbleweed town
everything is for sale
the devils in the detail
sad eyed sarah struck gold
married for the love of money
he was rich but man was he old
every night she waited and prayed
seems like forever
waiting to get paid
so many struggle with being alone
it's like a curse
and turns your heart to stone
it's fantasy and sham
we all can live by bread alone
cos no one gives a tinkers damn
chorus#
it's all gone retail
the devils in the detail
it's all falling down
like a tumbleweed town
everything is for sale

Rock it up (rock it down)
Been a long hard working week
Now it’s a good time we all seek
Time to rock our blues away
Take the night and turn it into day
Put on your party dress
The outside worlds such a mess
Babe can’t wait to get on stage
Plug me in and feel the rage
Fed up with howling at the moon
For the next two hours gonna rock this room
Bring a friend and grab a chair
Let the music take you there
Chorus
Gonna rock it up and rock it down
Hold on we are coming to your town
With some good old fashioned rhythm and blues
Gonna find a way into your dancing shoes
From Westwood to Hollywood
A bit of rock does us good
Keeps our hearts alive
And beats working nine till five
Gonna keep on rolling till I die
And dance with the spirit in the sky
Lets rock this world back into place
And show them freedom wears a happy face
Loud and proud with a heart of gold
In a rockin world you don’t grow old
So take a chance and dance with us
For the rock never rusts
Chorus
Gonna rock it up and rock it down
Hold on we are coming to your town
With some good old fashioned rhythm and blues
Gonna find a way into your dancing shoes
