Taken from the album: Perfect Remedy (1989)

Lyrics (Parfitt/Williams/Rossi):

He was a lonely boy

In a broken land

Where people were living and dying

In the name of a higher man

And then one day

Into his hand

The power of rock and roll

She was a hungry girl

For a caring world

And the rules say don't take a step over there

But she carries on

And drawn one day

Into the force by the power of rock and roll

Oh, oh, fighting for love, and singing you

Oh, oh, telling you why, and showing you

Oh oh, gonna be joined by rock and roll

In a working band

He became the man

But the law of the street

Said they could not meet

In any circumstance

But she did not care

They began to share

The power of rock and roll

Oh, oh, fighting for love, and singing you

Oh, oh, telling you why, and showing you

Oh oh, gonna be joined by rock and roll

Well they were learning

Of trouble they stayed ahead

And they were burning

Burning up and seeing red

That the place they loved would fall apart

If you can't show feeling from the heart

And then fighting

Know what they were fighting for

Can everybody

Give and take a little more

Because it's all too easy to forget

That you can fight 'til there ain't no reason left

So everybody, sing

Oh, oh, and singing you

Oh, oh, and showing you

Woh oh oh, and telling you

Woh oh oh

He was a lonely man

She was a hungry girl

Living on different sides

They were praying for a guiding word

And then one day

Into their hands

The power of rock and roll

Oh, oh, and singing you

Oh, oh, and showing you

Woh oh oh, and telling you

Woh oh oh
