lyrics

I know that you pass him daily
Yes, and he sees you smirk
At his boots and his red bandana
As you shuffle off to work

Though he now cuts a humble figure
On a good day I swear you’ll see
The faintest hint of a swagger
Of the rock star that he used to be

Spare a thought for Lance Gardino
He nearly flew to the moon
But he ended up in a tail-spin
And the dream was over too soon

He’s got a million stories
About the vinyl he sells on his stall
While his old Harley rusts in the garage
With his show posters pinned on the wall

Gather round Lance Gardino
He’s got so many stories to share
Don’t question the colourful details
Or doubt that he really was there

When he came back and tore up the Empire
All the local girls screamed with delight
And you know it wouldn’t surprise me
If you were conceived on that night

“Please welcome Lance Gardino”
Once those words sent the audience mad
‘Cos they knew that they were in store for
The best night that they’d ever have

When the crowd roared, ‘Lance Gardino’
He was the king he’d dreamed he could be
And nothing could match that ovation
‘Cept a bottle a day of Jack-D

Good for you Lance Gardino
Don’t ever regret a thing
‘Cos you got a place in the heart of
Every one that heard you sing

You can see him at The Lion on Thursdays
At the back of the barroom he sits
Raising Hell at the karaoke
Singing his own greatest hits

Hail Lance Gardino
A legend before you were born
He doesn’t need your pity
And doesn’t deserve your scorn
