Roll Away the Stone MOTT THE HOOPLE (with lyrics)

Massive UK hit for Mott the Hoople back in 1973, when it peaked at #8. It still gets regular airplays on the oldies stations over here, but strangely, none of their music translated well to the US scene, where only their song "All the Young Dudes" managed to make it to #37 (#3 here in Britain).

Should have been number one. No wonder Bowie loved them.

This tune brings back so many fond memories of 1973 & 74 cruzing in my 68 Mustang doing unthinkables and more. I believe I wore out 2 of the 8~track car stereo tapes and 1 8~track player listening to this. It will always be a big hit to me!!!

I remember this from first released, forgot about it until recently - can't stop listening - think it would be amusing to have this as my funeral song :)

This is the ultimate version - album version with the beautiful voice of Lynsey the Paul. Thanks!

Such a catchy song title and a catchy tune.

Been hearing it on the radio for year's, never knew the title of it or the band, song just popped into my head then, so I popped into Google what I thought I heard and found it..
Magic.. I didn't even know it was the same group that did " All the young dudes" and that other big hit about Memphis?? Title of that one escapes me now as well, its getting late here, well that's my excuse

Minns du denna låt Bertil? Jag lyssnade på den när vi var hemma hos dig, minns du?

[majordendrocopos]

Always wondered if the song was about the Biblical story, but having seen the lyrics I now know that it is just another semi meaningless pop song. I love the way that the audience sits there and looks

he's had enough of code cracking. He bought a MAC.

Lynsey De Paul would have been the kiss of death to any band??
