Rose Lyrics - Mott The Hoople

It ain't so long ago since we were just two kids 

Remember well, memories we all hid 

But you're much older now, although you still are young 

I know you well, I'm like you 

Hey Rose, you're finer than you know 

Why hang around with clothes of another name 

Hair so dyed, she lost too much inside 

Ain't nothing left to hide in the game 

Hey Rose, how do you laugh in your own show 

Try to fight the fears that rise within 

Rock 'n' roll slag, oh, my, you're such a drag 

Trying to find the corner to inject 

Hey Rose, so silently she goes 

Careful not to make up, see your maker 

Hey Rose, how do you laugh when she's on the show 

Try to fight the fears that rise within 

Hey, rock 'n' roll slag, oh, oh, you're such a drag 

Trying to find the corner to inject 

Hey Rose, you're finer than you know 

And I hate to see you cold on a summer day
