Prey for Rock & Roll Page #8

Synopsis: Prey For Rock & Roll is the story of Jacki and her all-girl rock and roll band, Clam Dandy, who are trying to make it in the LA club scene of the late 1980s. After ten years of being ignored by record producers, Jacki and the band find hope in one producer who promises to see them play and consider them for a contract. Jacki resolves to play this one last gig and then throw in the towel if she does not find success. Personal tragedies, however, threaten to rip the band apart, rocking the foundation of friendship and trust the women have built together. Ultimately, the band must find its strength in the music that is their passion and the thread that holds them together, inspiring them to prevail.

"The music doesn't move me #

# It only kicks my ass

when it goes real fast!" #

Jacki's voice:

I know, I know,

I'm a 40-year-old

woman chasing a teenage dream.

But you know what?

It all comes down this.

These 40 or 50 minutes of playing live

a few times a month.

# Now I dream on the radio #

# Asking, "Where's my guy?

Did he f*** up?" #

# No one thought

we'd see this day #

# When we all thought

he dropped away #

# The rich orpoor,

right or left #

# Black and white

died the same death. #

Jacki's voice:
At the end ofthe day,

when all is said and done,

you got your band, you got your family,

and you got your friends.

- # It's a beautiful planet #

- And if you're really lucky...

# It's a wonderful life #

...they're all one and the same.

#...and after

the bar bash #

# I'm having a party

all by myself #

# I'd invite the world,

but everyone's dead #

# Shall I comb my hair?

Shall I wait on guests? #

# It gets any later,

just wait on death! #

Jacki's voice:

All my life, all I ever wanted to be

- was a rock and roll star.

# It's a beautiful planet #

- Instead, I'm a musician...

- Crowd:
It's a wonderful life!

-...just some chick in a band.

- # It's a beautiful planet #

- And you know what?

- Crowd:
It's a wonderful life!

It's f***ing cool!

( rock music playing )

# My life is three chords

so let me finish #

# Waited too damn long

for my 15 minutes #

# Got a skinhead on my couch,

ex-junkies in my bed #

# Roadies passed out on the floor,

the fun that never ends #

# It's true, it's true,

I'm poor but I'm happy #

# It's true, it's true,

I'm broke but I'm fine #

# It's true, it's true,

I'm poor but I'm happy #

# It's true, it's true,

'cause all this nothing is mine #

# Love don't last,

won't dig that hole #

# They all complain

and prey for rock and roll #

# No record deal,

won't sell my soul #

# They all complain

and prey for rock and roll #

# Love don't last,

won't dig that hole #

# They all complain

and prey for rock and roll #

# No record deal,

won' t sell my soul #

# They all complain

and prey for rock and roll #

# Nothing used to matter

except half past three #

# And the sweet, sweet taste

of infidelity #

# Forget about what's right

when being wrong is much more fun #

# Down and out in Hollywood,

that's how the game is won #

# It's true, it's true,

there's a hole livin' in my heart #

# It's true, it's true,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah #

# It's true, it's true,

there's a hole livin' in my heart #

# It's true, it's true,

she was bad, bad, bad #

# Love don't last,

won't dig that hole #

# They all complain

and prey for rock and roll #

# No record deal,

won't sell my soul #

# They all complain

and prey for rock and roll #

# Love don't last,

won't dig that hole #

# They all complain

and prey for rock and roll #

# No record deal,

won't sell my soul #

# They all complain

and prey for rock and roll #

( instrumental break )

# Love don't last,

won't dig that hole #

# They all complain

and prey for rock and roll #

# No record deal,

won't sell my soul #

# They all complain

and prey for rock and roll #

# Love don't last,

won't dig that hole #

# They all complain

and prey for rock and roll #

# No record deal,

won't sell my soul #

# They all complain

and prey for rock and roll. #
