Lyrics

Top Rank Suite

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 and 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 and 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?
