Mott The Hoople - Roll Away The Stone Lyrics






Baby, if you just say you care
Follow you most anywhere
Roll away the stone, roll away the stone
And in the darkest night
I'll keep you safe and alright
Roll away the stone, roll away the stone

Won't you roll away the stone
Why be cold and so alone?
Won't you roll away the stone
Don't you let it die

No matter if fools say we can't win
I know I'll fall in love again
Roll away the stone, roll away the stone
So sing - we still got a chance
Baby, in love and sweet romance
Roll away the stone, roll away the stone

Won't you roll away the stone
Why be cold and so alone?
Won't you roll away the stone
Don't you let it die

There's a rockabilly party on Saturday night
Are you gonna be there?
(I got my invite)
Gonna bring your records
(Ohh, will do)
Made it

Won't you roll away the stone
Why be cold and so alone?
Won't you roll away the stone
Don't you let it die

Come on roll
Come on roll, yeah
Come on roll
I want you to roll
Come on, yeah
Come on roll

    Typical of the utter rubbish that grew out of the late sixties music revolution. Saw them live once at Leicester uni where they were booed off stage.

    David Bowie liked this band, and so do I. - I read Ian Hunter's book; it made me wish I had a time machine to go back to 1971.

    Was this recorded at a Quaalude Clinic? This audience seems like they have no idea who was performing or why they were there.

  12. H.... S....

    bloody mermerized the buggers....................england 1 germany 0

  13. M.... E....

    Imagine if they ahd put real people in the audience instead of those mannequins?

  14. c.... h....

  15. P.... G....

    I was 16, didn’t know anything about Glam rock. But I guess I did, but didn’t know it, because Ziggy and the Spiders were my beast friends at the time. I would dance in my room when this song came on and sing with my terrible voice as loud as I could. Being a kid was great!

  16. t.... h....

  17. 4.... E....

    great song please check out Mott the Hoople - The Hoople Album Review on my channel

  18. A.... M....

    I've always loved this song but never knew who it was by.
    Born in '68 so you do the maths.
    Still trying to work out what that riff reminds me of.....

  19. A.... S....

    Simon Fox from Be Bop Deluxe sitting on drums...wonder where Buffin was? 😄

  20. �.... �....

    Жаль,только,что это фанера,а не живой концерт

  21. R.... ....

    Glam rock di categoria superiore, sia come immagine sia come proposta musicale. Ottimi Motts.

  22. M.... E....

    This is why Motty wanted to split up! that fucking crowd, WTF!

    M.... E....

    great song please check out Mott the Hoople - The Hoople Album Review on my channel

    1974 - Those were the Days

    M.... P....

    “I am only here for Kraftwerk”

  26. T.... S....

    Fantastic

  27. M.... ....

    Where is Buffin?

  28. J.... C....

    Zombies are real, just look at the audience!

  29. s.... ....

    That crowd.....

  30. D.... W....

    I think that one of the band went to Byron Street school. MEMORIES EH!!!

  31. J.... D....

    The audience looks like they have no idea what greatness is happening in front of them.

  32. i.... ....

    I move more in deep sleep

  33. C.... K....

    Great song

  34. A.... ....

    Utterly awful, I’d have more respect if they went for a live version.

  35. S.... P....

    Look like SNP voters at a St Georges day festival

    S.... P....

    You do know some SNP voters are originally English?

  36. T.... B....

    nice seeing germans enjoying themselves.

  37. w.... ....

    Not a foot tapping,not a head nodding,nothing.Just what was the matter with German youth in 1974?

  38. g.... ....

    Did their manager accidentally book them at a knitting class?

  39. J.... S....

    I love hearing the cymbal crashes even when there are no cymbals to be found.

  40. A.... B....

    Nice, but I'd really like to hear Dan the Banjo Man.

  41. M.... C....

    OUCH....that's gotta sting .if you weren't being paid a fortune

  42. D.... C....

    Looks like the audience were expecting Leonard Cohen to perform

  43. A.... L....

    O My god!!! Everybody seemes to be dead 🤣🤣

  44. T.... ....

    2:23 priceless reactions. : - ))

  45. B.... F....

    Hell, there's some groovey poetry going of in this classic

  46. k.... ....

    I wish the over enthusiastic crowd would control themselves! Great tune!!!!!

  47. K.... R....

    Is that Margaret thatcher in the audience about 2 mins 21 seconds in??? 😉

  48. r.... c....

    All those young dudes, apparently out past their bedtime !! Lol

  49. m.... ....

    What a miserable audience, can they hear the music? Or have they been superimposed from a separate video taken at a funeral?

  50. m.... ....

    God, aren't Germans a miserable bunch?

  51. T.... ....

    The 70s were the BEST!!!

  52. A.... A....

    LIVE at the Wax Museum

  53. A.... T....

    Never gets old.

  54. W.... S....

    Strange to think that audience will be in their 60's now, scary!

    W.... S....

    i am and it is

    W.... S....

    I wonder if any are still alive though perhaps we would not know the difference

  55. E.... H....

    good song

  56. D.... M....

    Never seen dead people smoke!

  57. s.... ....

    The largest ego in a B level band I've ever saw was Ian Hunter.

  58. J.... H....

    Who's the drummer? Not Buffin!

  59. T.... G....

    Why isn't Dale "buffin" Griffin playing the drums?

  60. M.... W....

    When lip syncing was Lip syncing! Mott the Hopple was one of the best bands in the 70s. Ian Hunter ✌

  61. R.... C....

    Was someone selling horse pills outside the venue? Best ever Mott song and they're comatose. Surprised the producer didn't throw a fit at them.

  62. B.... S....

    Perhaps the chorus should be, "Won't you all sit there like stones?"

  63. W.... W....

    That ain't bffin playing drums here.

    W.... W....

    I thought I kept up with their history pretty good, I don't remember him ever being out of the band. Maybe this is like in 1964 when Ringo was sick with tonsils, and some guy named Jimmy had to play the drums for the Beatles somewhere for a minute.

  64. D.... ....

    That's one dead Crowd

  65. W.... W....

    They obviously weren't ready for music....

  66. R.... T....

    The audience is pissed off because they're there to see Dan the Banjo Man.

    R.... T....

    Ross T 😀

    R.... T....

    Audiences ALWAYS looked pissed off back then.

  67. K.... K....

    That's some good disco

  68. B.... T....

    Fck the audience look bored someone please give them an Éeeeeeee

  69. D.... D....

    Are you ready 🎷or dead from the neck down 🙈

  70. s.... ....

    Must be cutbacks - rent a crowd working to rule and wanted extra to dance .

  71. V.... G....

    This is lip synched sounds exactly like the radio lol yup

    V.... G....

    Yep that's what I was saying above, LOL there is NO MUSIC or SOUND at all it is just being FAKED, watch the girl FAKE SINGING it isn't even in sync with the audio.

  72. T.... D....

    what must Hunter bein' thinking looking at that audeince?

  73. M.... W....

    The crowd obviously don’t get it 🙄

  74. j.... s....

    tough audience yes.and severely crap band

  75. J.... M....

    Banda incrível

  76. M.... D....

    THE " BASS " PLAYER IS " BOSS " AND HIS BOOTS ARE THE " BOLLOCKS "

  77. A.... B....

    Never liked Mott the Hoople.

  78. e.... ....

    Who put all those squares in the audience, man?

  79. A.... M....

    I haven't heard the Hoop in years.
    They had one album that was Killer.
    Think Bowie produced it.
    Good memories from those days.
    What I can remember....😜

  80. g.... w....

    That is the saddest crowd I have ever seen

  81. j.... n....

    The bands in the seventies always looked awesome, and more importantly sounded awesome!

  82. w.... ....

    I think the answer to the Audience being in a Coma is that this performance was acted and the music put in later at a Studio, it is too hard to imagine people sat there stony faced with actual music being played

  83. s.... c....

    dazed and confused.

  84. T.... D....

    LMAO That audience doesn't appreciate great music.

  85. E.... G....

    saw Ian with Ringos all star band.And he wrote ships for Manilow

    E.... G....

    Eddy G's Music World very sadly missed

    E.... G....

    I saw him and RONNO at a small club in philly ... I was losing my mind and people around me were kinda bland . I still freak out I was leaning on the stage

  86. L.... ....

    Ian is not the greatest singer but the noise he makes is sh1t-hot. I'm a mad Mott the Hoople and Ian Hunter fan. Fav:
    You didn't know what rock and roll was
    Until you met my drummer on the Grey tour bus
    I got there in the nick of time
    Before he got his hands across your state line, yeah

  87. S.... S....

    Killer band!!!

  88. D.... G....

    Slightly ahead of American audiences for enthusiasm......

    D.... G....

    Blame it on the lack of acid.

  89. s.... s....

    Where'S Thunder THIGHS, arrh

  90. D.... O....

    dead ! Oh my god, dead !

  91. M.... C....

    They Rock!! 😎10/2/19

  92. R.... A....

    Great band, great song! Maybe they should have paid the "audience" more in order to make them look like they give a ****!!!

  93. D.... ....

    Only a total wally wears sunglasses indoors. This lot were crap, too.

  94. D.... S....

    They all woke up in time to clap excitedly....WTH....

  95. t.... ....

    wheres the brass

  96. B.... T....

    al publico lo congelaron o algo??

  97. D.... R....

    I’m just amazed at how the audience could sit so still! How is it that they don’t get the beat?!

    D.... R....

    probably a 'two shot.' The band may not of been playing when the audience was filmed as B(ackground) roll.

  98. A.... G....

    when I was 16 ... I still love this song <3

  99. b.... ....

    Ian Hunter kills me with his mannerisms! I love his style so much! 🇬🇧

  100. C.... B....

    if you notice in the 70s with ,slade ,glitter, mott, , mud, sweet etc
    the German audience are crap just sitting there . theres a lot to said for T.O.P
