Rebels Without Applause

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Gang's all gone

And I smoulder on

I who saw them leave

I cried bereaved

One by one

I saw them stall

Rebels without applause

The gang's all gone

And now I am the only one

No more to give

Too late to live

The last star on the bill

I see them still

Rebels without applause

Bawdy boys of song

And girls all gone wrong

I loved them all

Bawdy boys of song

And girls all gone wrong

I loved them all

The gang's all gone

From dark to light

Like lost children go

Because we must do

And the blue flu must come for you

Rebels without applause

Bawdy boys of song

And girls all gone wrong

I loved them all

Bawdy boys of song

And girls who all went wrong

I loved them all

Generation X

And X-Ray Spex

We loved them all

I see them still

I see them still

I see them still

I loved them all

I loved them all

I loved them all
