Lyrics
vs 1:
A long time ago came a tiny spark
in the mind of a man with music in his heart
filled with passion from the start
he got us rockin together...worlds apart
People loggin in night and day
layin down tracks when there's time to play
lyric writers here got plenty to say
where there's a tune there's a way
chorus:
Nicky Testa knows who's online
part time rockers makin music full time
God bless Nick and this day and age
for giving us a virtual stage
vs 2:
an 80's heart throb is now a family man
a painter slash guitarist is writing all he can
some girls are singin and guys are too
who knew bass players were so cute
awesome drummers keepin us in time
and time is always flyin' by
hearing your best seems to bring out mine
It's the collabbin state of mind
chorus 2:
Nicky Testa knows who's online
part time rockers makin music all the time
thank God for Nick and this day and age
for puttin us on virtual stage
bridge:
Nobody plays the keys
like the Germans and Portugese
it's not about fortune and fame
I mean Aidan doesn't even use his real name!
too many skills here to mention
known by acronyms & avatars
Domes, Heads, Fenders, Strats,
Noobs to Heroes........all stars
vs 3 :
dolphin and a monkey mixing work and fun
a married couple get some writing done
guys behind a camera sometimes get out front
here on MCS they'e all number 1's
authors search for a sound that belongs
we audition & hope it's not all wrong
fragile egos get tough before long
Cos it's all about the song
chorus 3:
Nicky Testa knows who's online
part time rockers makin music over-time
God bless Nick and this day and age
for giving us a virtual stage
outro:
long ago a man with music in his heart
got us all rockin together....worlds apart
