Rock and Roll Fool
Music and Lyrics by Roger Linder - 1/6/1975


I
I'm just a rock and roll fool.
Never went to rock and roll school.
Always breaking the rock and roll rules.
When I play my guitar
I become a rock and roll star.
I know that fame and fortune can't be very far.

Jump up, Jump back, give it a chance.
I you know how, get up and dance.

I is my name;
Rock and roll is my game.
They tell me that a crowd like this is so hard to tame.
But I just call to the mass,
"Quit smoking all that grass,"
So that you can witness what has come to pass.
I
Jump up, jump back, give it a chance
If you know how, get up and dance

So you can call me your rock and roll king.
Playing guitar with that rock and roll ring.
It's something you'll remember, that rock and roll thing.
Now here's a rockin' goodbye
To get you rock and roll high.
Rock and roll will live 'til I die.

Jump up, jump back, give it a chance
If you know how, get up and dance
A Most Amazing Man?
Music and Lyrics by Roger Linder - 3/25/1975


Spike
Isn't he a most amazing man?
Isn't he a most amazing man?
They say success has gone to your head.
They'd like to see you lying dead.
Your attitude surely makes them see red.
You're a most amazing man.
You're a most amazing man.

They have seen you're no amazing man.
They have seen you're no amazing man.
They have left you for someone who knows
How to control his tongue and ego.
Though their rise to fame may be quite slow
They are most amazing men.
Yes, they're most amazing men.

Someday you'll find there must be a new way.
One of these men will be coming that day.
You may even find him in the mirror.
Spike
Isn't he a most amazing man?
Isn't he a most amazing man?
They say success has gone to your head.
They'd like to see you lying dead.
Your attitude surely makes them see red.
You're a most amazing man.
You're a most amazing man.
I
I am your king, please hear me sing.
Don't let me fall, give me your all.
Look what I've done, don't tear me down.
I am the star, better by far.
Than all of you here, please don't come near.
I am your slave, let me be saved
Release all my pain, start over again
If It Wasn't For You
Music and Lyrics by Roger Linder - 11/4/1974


I
If it wasn't for you
I know I couldn't make it through my life
If it wasn't for you
If it wasn't for you
You have a love that is true
And I know you'll make me a fine wife
You have a love that is true
You have a love that is true
I
Friendless, lonely, there I was,
A star no longer.
I've been brought down all because
I wanted to be stronger

I need someone and that someone's got to be you.
Though you've been there all along you're just like a dream come true.
I
If it wasn't for you
I know I couldn't make it through my life
If it wasn't for you
If it wasn't for you
You have a love that is true
And I know you'll make me a fine wife
You have a love that is true
You have a love that is true
I
Now I've seen where my faults lies
You've got to help me.
It's clear to me I've got to try.
I need the key, so tell me.
I
If it wasn't for you
I know I couldn't make it through my life
If it wasn't for you
If it wasn't for you
You have a love that is true
And I know you'll make me a fine wife
You have a love that is true
You have a love that is true
Angela
Change
Change your life, change for me
You can if you try
You must to get by
Change
Life is change, understand
Yes, I'll be your wife
Yes, I'll share your life
World Reform
Music and Lyrics by Roger Linder - 12/15/1974


I
World's gonna change and I'm gonna change it.
Turn out the old, rearrange it.
We can't get by on what they dictate on high.

Reform! Be reborn!

Look out the window and what do I see?
L.A. smog coming after me.
My eyes are burning and heads are turning to me.

Reform! Be reborn!

I can't do it alone, help is on its way.
If you'll help me along, we'll see a new day.

Political upsets are getting me upset.
Branding our minds so we can forget.
The situation that exists in our nation means:

Reform! Be reborn!
Soap Box Story
Music and Lyrics by Roger Linder - 5/15/1974


I
It's 1984 and time to vote once more.
For once you really do have a choice.
A wizard, a true star has raised his voice.

In music and in song he has carried us along
And he's conjured up a most devoted crowd.
Corruption in the states won't be allowed.

On the sixth of November you've got to remember
To go to the polls and vote.
I know you won't be sorry, with Todd there's no worry
And your hopes won't be so remote.

Utopia it's not, but with a vote for Todd
You'll find that it's one step nearer.
We need something, anything to stop fear

In music and in song he has carried us along
and he's conjured up a most devoted crowd.
Corruption in the states won't be allowed.

On the sixth of November you've got to remember
To go to the polls and vote.
I know you won't be sorry, with Todd there's no worry
And your hopes won't be so remote.
Reunion Chorus
Music and Lyrics by Roger Linder - 10/17/1974


Group
Back together again
Back together again
When we play, people say that we'll win
Back together again
A King's Farewell
Music and Lyrics by Roger Linder - 10/17/1974
I
King's don't reign forever, got to die.
Time is short, my river's running dry.
Flashbacks, comebacks, laid-back I is through.
In my life I hope I've entertained you.

And now the time has come
To step out of the light.
The band has all gone home,
Finished for the night.
My reign is through, it's true,
I've reached the end.
But rock will carry on
And goodwill it will send.
Homage to a King
Music and Lyrics by Roger Linder - 10/17/1974
Female Chorus
Aaah....
Finale: The New King
Music and Lyrics by Roger Linder - 10/23/1974

Today
Music and Lyrics by Roger Linder - 8/24/2008


I
Today
Is your lucky day
You get to hear me play
Declare a holiday!

Today
You just can't get away
I have you in my sway
Not just another day

And now you'll hear
As you draw near
It's my year!

Today
Is a special day
You got to hear me play
You'll never get away

Today
Is not just any day
It's a holiday
Now let's just slip away

And you've just heard
The one true word
When I appeared
