Description
This song was written by a rock fan (that's me, Mitch) about the demise of rock fans. It was December of 1973, and along with a pack of insane friends, I had just returned from a road trip watching The Who play several shows on what they called their Fallout Shelter tour.
Lyrics
(c) 2011 Mitchell Dancik (Scene 1: The Barkers) Get your tickets while they're hot! Get those tempers queued up good and hot Come with your sticks and your bats Get those tickets while they're hot! Get your rightful places back! Let those ass-kickin' days fly back Put your heels in their laps Get those first row places back! (Scene 2: The Annoyed Rock Star) Aren't you the ones from the Fallout Shelter? Aren't you the ones who come back every night? Aren't you the ones from The Bonaventure? There's just some people I can't get out of my sight (Scene 2: The Fans) All we seek is some recognition Sign on the poster that goes up on the wall All we seek is evaluation Aren't you "The One"? (Scene 3: The Barkers) Get those handshakes while you can! Disquise yourself as any thing or man Smash a door if you can Get those handshakes while you can (repeat scene 2) (Scene 4: The fan sees the rock star 35 years on) Aren't you the ones from the Fallout Shelter? Aren't you the ones who come back every night? Aren't you the ones from The Bonaventure? There's just some people I can't get out of my sight Aren't you "The One"?
