Verse: 1 Where were you in '79 when the dam began to burst Did you check us out down at the local show Were you wearing denim, wearing leather Did you run down to the front Did you queue for your ticket through the ice and snow Chorus: Denim and Leather Brought us all together It was you that set the spirit free Denim and Leather Brought us all together It was you that set the spirit free Verse: 2 Did you read the music paper from the back and to the front Did you find out where to see your favorite band Did you listen to the radio every Friday night Did hang around your local record store Chorus. Verse:3 Do you dream of playing guitar or smashing up the drums Maybe you can learn to play the bass You can always be a singer like me and front the band When on the stage we wait at your command Chorus. Verse: 4 It was you - that set the spirit free It was you - that put us here today It was you - that filled the concert halls It was you - that set the spirit free Chorus. (Repeat to end)
