lyrics

Well if John Lennon was standing in this room today
I'd sit him down and listen to what he would say
About all those great musicians who get to stay
In Heavens Green Room
Does Jimi Hendrix have a White guitar to play
When he's not taking lessons from Jacqueline Du Pre?
Give him all our best regards anyway 'cos we miss him

It seems J.S. Bach, Wolfgang Mozart and Prokofiev
Formed a power trio that really rocks and knocks 'em dead
If you want a ticket book a century ahead In heaven's Green room
Keith Moon, John Bonham and Buddy Rich had a 'drumming fight'
Keith smashed up his kit and set it all alight
But by this time tomorrow it'll be all right in Heavens Green Room

There's a rider in the Green Room
You can get anything you want
Frank Sinatra singing smooth
At the Piano with Scott Joplin, Miles Davis and Monk

Well Muddy Waters is jamming with Stevie-Ray Vaughn
Roberts - Johnson and Marley look on as Billie Holiday applauds
That lady sings the Blues better than all the broads in Heavens Green Room
Roy Orbison laughs and George Harrison smiles
As Kurt Kobain reminisces for a while
Nothing that you play is ever out of style in Heavens Green Room
