Lyrics

The Band We Loved The Most (ver. 3)

So many years they were ruling the world
With the same chance that they made
The chicks were screaming
The dudes were competing
To do it just the same

But now it's time that we say

Adios
To the band we loved the most
This is a toast to what they did
And all that they were fighting for
Who could do more when
Time marches on?
Worlds come and go?
We'll still sing the melodies
Like we did long ago

You turned us on with a spiritual sound
That inspired us to be real
And with the hearts of suffering artists
They showed us how to feel

But all things fade away now

Adios
To the band we loved the most
This is a toast to what they did
And all that they were fighting for
Who could do more when
Time marches on?
Worlds come and go?
We'll still sing the melodies
Like we did long ago

Ooh, we'll never forget the jams they made
Goodbye to them all
Ooh, we'll never forget the jams they made
Goodbye to them all
Goodbye

Adios
To the band we loved the most
This is a toast to what they did
And all that they were fighting for
Who could do more when
Time marches on?
Worlds come and go?
We'll still sing the melodies
Like we did long ago

The Band We Loved The Most (ver. 4)

So many years they were ruling the world
With the music that they made
The girls were screaming
The guys were competing
To do it just the same

But now it's time that we say

Adios
To the band we loved the most
This is a toast to what they did
And all that they were fighting for
Who could do more when
Time marches on?
Worlds come and go?
We still sing the melodies
Like we did long ago

You turned us on with a spiritual depth
That inspired the way we lived
And with the hearts of suffering artists
They showed us how to give

But all things fade away now

Adios
To the band we loved the most
This is a toast to what they did
And all that they were fighting for
Who could do more when
Time marches on?
Worlds come and go?
We'll still sing the melodies
Like we did long ago

Ooh, we'll never forget the times we had
Ooh, don't be sad
Ooh, we'll never forget the times we had
Ooh, don't be sad
Ooh, goodbye

Adios
To the band we loved the most
This is a toast to what they did
And all that they were fighting for
Who could do more when
Time marches on?
Worlds come and go?
We'll still sing the melodies
Like we did long ago

To win a coat of arms
I wonder if you had any suspicion
Your work would reach so far


Did you know I'd be your

This is my pledge
I'll study you
'til all of hell is bursting loose
Tell you the truth
I'll watch how you fly
Higher than high

Worship at your feet
And if the commoners don't understand you
It ain't no loss to me
