Lyrics

Denim and Leather

[Verse 1]

Where were you in '79 when the dam began to burst?

Did you check us out down at the local show?

Were you wearing denim, wearing leather?

Did you run down to the front?

Did you queue for your ticket through the ice and snow?

[Chorus]

Denim and Leather

Brought us all together

It was you that set the spirit free

Denim and Leather

Brought us all together

It was you that set the spirit free

[Verse 2]

Did you read the music papers from the back and to the front?

Did you find out where to see your favorite band?

Did you listen to the radio every Friday night?

Did you hang around your local record store?

[Chorus]

Denim and Leather

Brought us all together

It was you that set the spirit free

Denim and Leather

Brought us all together

It was you that set the spirit free

[Verse 3]

Do you dream of playing guitar or smashing out the drums?

Maybe you can learn to play the bass

You can always be a singer like me and front the band

We're on the stage, we wait at your command

[Chorus]

Denim and Leather

Brought us all together

It was you that set the spirit free

Denim and Leather

Brought us all together

It was you that set the spirit free

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

It was you, that set the spirit free

It was you, that put us here today

It was you, that filled the concert hall

It was you, that set the spirit free

[Chorus]

Denim and Leather

Brought us all together

It was you that set the spirit free

Denim and Leather

Brought us all together

It was you that set the spirit free

Denim and Leather

Brought us all together

It was you that set the spirit free

Denim and Leather

Brought us all together

It was you that set the spirit free

Denim and Leather

Brought us all together

It was you that set the spirit free

Denim and Leather

Brought us all together

It was you that set the spirit free...
