Hey, Dr.
Hart!
Hey!
[C#] Here I am, [F#] doing the dance, [G#m] floating where [C#] it takes me, laughing [F#] and splashing in the summer [G#m] sun, until the [C#] alarm clock wakes me.
There's coffee and a kiss and two [G#m] cigarettes, and I'm back out in [C#] the cold, cold weather, chasing my dreams that I just can't [G#] seem to rub two [C#] coins together.
Life ain't easy, I never said it would be.
Life ain't easy, whoever said it should be.
Life ain't [G#m] easy, and nothing comes free.
Free, free, [C#] free.
Life ain't easy, life ain't easy, life ain't easy, [G#m] and nothing comes free.
For you or [G] me.
And the man who arrived here on the plane is also the first guest in today's spotlight, to whom I would like to welcome you.
Who was it?
Dr.
Hook and the Madison Show!
Hello out there, Austria!
How's your cheese?
It's really good to be in here in Vienna.
Cheese and sausage is always nice.
I don't believe it.
[A] Don't touch me.
Hey, Ray!
Hey, Sugar!
Tell them who we are!
Well, we're big rock singers, we got golden fingers, and we're loved [E] everywhere we go.
That sounds like us.
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth at ten thousand [A] dollars a show.
Right.
We take all kind of pills to give us all kind of thrills, but the thrill we've [D] never known [E] is the thrill that'll get you when you get your [A] picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone.
[E] Rolling Stone.
Wanna see my picture on the [A] cover.
Rolling Stone.
Wanna buy five copies for my [E] mother.
Rolling Stone.
Wanna see my smiling face [D] on the cover of the [A] Rolling Stone.
[D] [A] Good idea.
I got a freaky old lady named my cocaine kitty who embroiders [E] on my jeans.
I got my poor old gray-haired daddy driving my [A] limousine.
Now it's all designed to blow our minds, but our minds won't [D] really be blown.
[E] Like the blow that'll get you when you get your [A] picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone.
[E] Rolling Stone.
Wanna see our pictures on [A] the cover.
Rolling Stone.
Wanna buy five copies for [E] our mother.
Rolling Stone.
Wanna see my smiling [D] face on the cover of [A] the Rolling Stone.
Hey, I know I'm not Rocking!
[D] [A] Beautiful.
We got a lot of little teenage blue-eyed groupies who'll do [E] anything we say.
We got a genuine Indian guru who's teaching us a [A] better way.
We got all the friends that money can buy, so we never have to [D] be alone.
[E] And we keep getting richer, but we can't get our [Em] picture on the cover of the [A] Rolling Stone.
[E] Rolling Stone.
Wanna see my picture on the [A] cover.
Rolling Stone.
Wanna buy five copies for my [E] mother.
Wanna see my smiling [D] face on the cover of the [A] Rolling Stone.
[D] On the cover of the [E] Rolling Stone.
Wanna see my picture on the [A] cover.
I don't know of four years now but I beg you, four years and I'll forgive you.
Wanna buy five copies for [E] my brothers.
Rolling Stone.
Wanna see my smiling face [D] on the cover of [A] the Rolling Stone.
Good luck, brother.
I can see it now.
Put me out front, smiling man.
Oh, beautiful.
[N]
Come on in, you're here.
[G] Right in here?
Yeah.
What's happening?
Ray, tell me, when you and your group are arriving somewhere on the airport,
normally you lay on the floor.
Is that your main thing?
Sometimes I do, yes.
I kind of like laying on the floor.
Especially at the airport.
Especially in Vienna.
Nice and cool.
The floors are nice and cool.
Pals, could I translate just for a second?
Yeah, get up.
I asked if Ray, when Dr.
Hook arrives somewhere on the airport,
normally he lays on the floor.
Is that his main gag?
He said he loves it, he likes doing it.
Most of the time I'm drunk.
Ray, how did you get your group together?
Oh, they're not together.
Fuck.
They're not together.
I asked him how he got the group together, he said they're not together at all.
Well, don't tell him.
Very ticklish.
We just went around the United States with some flat paper.
Picked them up.
He's from New Jersey, and I'm from Alabama.
Alabama.
Florida.
California.
Mississippi.
Okay, and when you're on stage, I mean, you're always doing a very funny [C] show,
you're always very good in the mood.
Is that normally the main feeling in the group, or is it just Yes, definitely.
As good as we can do about it.
As good as we can feel, you know.
Oh, I don't know.
Is there anything special you could do for our viewers in Austria?
You mean right now?
Right now.
Yeah, we got a new single out.
