Top Rank Suite

(album: Octave - 1978)

Rain on the river
Turns the torrent to a flood
Swim or you'll never rise above
Two lonely people
Can mend a broken heart
Love you'll never fall apart

But can you tell me why?

They made a good bowl of chili at the jazz club
They played a good game of football in Mucron
They got everyone off at the Top Rank babe
If you could ever get into their suite
Avenue Tombola and Social
We just drove right on by
We were on our way to the big time babe
To the great gold record in the sky

Sun in the morning
Brings the flowers from a bud
Hail to the giver
Life and love

Two lonely people
Can mend a broken heart
Love you'll never fall apart

But can you tell me why?

They made a good bowl of chili at the jazz club
They played a good game of football in Mucron
They got everyone off at the Top Rank babe
If you could ever get into their suite
Avenue Tombola and Social
We just drove right on by
We were on our way to the big time babe
To the great gold record in the sky

But can you tell me why?
