Live in Dusseldorf December 19, 1998

|
It's not high finance
|
It's called heart and soul
|
An' if it's rock and roll
|
I've got to go-go-go-go
|
Bye-bye-bye-bye
|
|
Keep movin' on up, to that higher ground
|
Movin' on up, I got to stand my ground
|
Movin' on up, I've got to stick around
|
Well, let the bastards (grind me down)
|
Well, let the bastards (grind me down)
|
Well, let the bastards (grind me down)
|
|
My name is raincheck (call me raincheck)
|
In the afternoon
|
My name is raincheck
|
Need a shot-a rhythm an' blues
|
My name is raincheck (call me raincheck)
|
On a rainy long day
|
My name is raincheck
|
'Cause I don't fade away
|
I don't fade away
|
I don't fade away
|
I don't fade away, unless I choose
|
|
Can't take my love away
|
Because I'm here to stay
|
Well, an if it fades away
|
Come back another day
|
|
Then I'm gonna keep, movin' on up
|
To that higher ground
|
Movin' on up, I've got to stand my ground
|
Movin' on up, I've got to stick around
|
Well, let the bastards (grind me down)
|
Grind me down
|
Grind me down
|
|
My name is raincheck (call me raincheck)
|
In the afternoon
|
My name is raincheck-a
|
Need a shot-a rhythm an blues
|
My name is raincheck
|
On a very rainy day
|
My name is raincheck
|
'Cause I don't fade away
|
I don't fade away
|
I don't fade away
|
Unless, I choose
|
I choose
|
|
(Instrumental & guitar solo)
|
|
(Grind me down)
|
(Grind me down)
|
(Grind me down)
|
|
James Kay (applause)
|
|
Put on your dancin' shoes
|
Dance away your blues
|
When I'm feelin' this way
|
I got nothin' to lose
|
|
You're gonna keep on movin' up (movin' on up)
|
To that higher ground
|
You're gonna keep (movin' on up) movin' on up
|
To that higher
|
Keep on movin' on up
|
I've got to stand my ground
|
Or let the bastards (grind me down)
|
Grind me down
|
Grind me down
|
|
My name is raincheck (call me raincheck)
|
In the afternoon
|
My name is raincheck
|
Need a shot-a rhythm an blues
|
My name is raincheck (call me raincheck)
|
On a very rainy day
|
My name is raincheck
|
So I don't fade away
|
|
My name is raincheck (call me raincheck)
|
On a rainy day
|
My name is raincheck
|
'Cause I don't fade a way
|
I don't fade away
|
I don't fade away
|
Unless I choose
|
|
I don't fade away
|
I don't fade away
|
I don't fade away
|
Unless I choose
|
|
I choose
|
I choose
|
I choose
|
|
I don't fade away.
