Songwriter: Peter Haycock
In the cold of a Monday morning
Stepping from the train
With shaded eyes, a promise and a vision
All the gold in the streets of London
Is shining in the rain
Like a new guitar, it's humming with ambition
You know where you're going
You know you'll go far and
You know rock 'n' roll is fine
You know where you're going
You know you're a star and
All you have to do is shine
At the door, you were feeling fine
You knew you had arrived
To take the chance that took so long to find you
And before you have had the time
To read between the lines
With shaking hands, you sign the past behind you
We know where you're going
We know you'll go far and
We know rock 'n' roll is fine
We know where you're going
We'll make you a star and
All you have to do is shine
The publicity
The image and the looks
The management, the agency
The message and the hooks
This is what you're paying for
Gotta have the best
We can open all the doors
You can do the rest
Looking down on a sea of faces
You can't believe you're here
The audience is swaying down below you
And the sound of a thousand voices
Is pounding in your ears
You can almost hear them saying
That they love you
We know where you're going
We know you'll go far and
We know rock 'n' roll is fine
We know where you're going
We'll make you a star and
All you have to do is shine
We know where you're going
We know you'll go far and
We know rock 'n' roll is fine
We know where you're going
We'll make you a star
Stepping from the train
With shaded eyes, a promise and a vision
All the gold in the streets of London
Is shining in the rain
Like a new guitar, it's humming with ambition
You know where you're going
You know you'll go far and
You know rock 'n' roll is fine
You know where you're going
You know you're a star and
All you have to do is shine
At the door, you were feeling fine
You knew you had arrived
To take the chance that took so long to find you
And before you have had the time
To read between the lines
With shaking hands, you sign the past behind you
We know where you're going
We know you'll go far and
We know rock 'n' roll is fine
We know where you're going
We'll make you a star and
All you have to do is shine
The publicity
The image and the looks
The management, the agency
The message and the hooks
This is what you're paying for
Gotta have the best
We can open all the doors
You can do the rest
Looking down on a sea of faces
You can't believe you're here
The audience is swaying down below you
And the sound of a thousand voices
Is pounding in your ears
You can almost hear them saying
That they love you
We know where you're going
We know you'll go far and
We know rock 'n' roll is fine
We know where you're going
We'll make you a star and
All you have to do is shine
We know where you're going
We know you'll go far and
We know rock 'n' roll is fine
We know where you're going
We'll make you a star
