lyrics
The Band Played On - words & music Steve Salterszo\Traditional
1.
The thrill the excitement
could be felt in the air
The majesty, the awe
It was such a grand affair
Calls of breathtaking, magnificent
Surely nothing can compare
And the band played on
And the band played on
2.
Set sail from Southampton
New York bound
The rich, the poor
Every walk of life could be found
The sharing of dreams was uttered all around
And the band played on
And the band played on
B.
Then the warning rang out
Iceberg dead ahead
They tried to react but
the damage was widespread
Unsinkable was what they'd said
And the band played on
and the band played on
3.
Five compartments breached
The realisation all was lost
Amidst the panic and alarm
The Band played on to their cost
Minute by minute playing
Their names forever embossed
And the Band Played On
And the band played on
1.
The thrill the excitement
could be felt in the air
The majesty, the awe
It was such a grand affair
Calls of breathtaking, magnificent
Surely nothing can compare
And the band played on
And the band played on
2.
Set sail from Southampton
New York bound
The rich, the poor
Every walk of life could be found
The sharing of dreams was uttered all around
And the band played on
And the band played on
B.
Then the warning rang out
Iceberg dead ahead
They tried to react but
the damage was widespread
Unsinkable was what they'd said
And the band played on
and the band played on
3.
Five compartments breached
The realisation all was lost
Amidst the panic and alarm
The Band played on to their cost
Minute by minute playing
Their names forever embossed
And the Band Played On
And the band played on
