Lyrics for Song: Can't Stop the Music (He Played It Much Too Long)
Lyrics for Album: The Atlantic Collection [1996]
He's the star on the stage, but he screams all night
'Cause he can't get to sleep at all
And his favorite book, by the T.V. Light
Can't stop this matinee, he's played it over and over
And he can't stop the music
Or remember the ending to his song
He played it much too long
All those hard earned words, that he's fought from his pen
Have been forgotten in some empty hall
And those wide eyed looks, on those wiped out faces
Make some dreams of their places over and over
And he can't stop the music
Or remember the ending to his song
He played it much too long
Wouldn't believe in years
If he told you what the papers use to say
But that was in his hey day
Get back in his prime he had the fans in line
You should have seen him then
Now look at him
His hair is getting thin
There's one last show before the glory ends
There in the wings, waits his only friend
The record that he's prayed to over and over
And he can't stop the music
Or remember the ending to his song
He played it much too long
Now, he can't stop the music, oh no
Then we go like this, and we go like that
Music
Then we go like this, and we go like that
Can't stop the music
Then we go like this, and we go like that
Music
Then we go like this and we go like that
Can't stop the music
Then we go like this, and we go like that
Music
Then we go like this, and we go like that
Can't stop the music
Then we go like this, and we go like that
Music
Then we go like this and we go like that

Can't Stop the Music (He Played It Much Too Long)
Hall and Oates established themselves as one of the most successful duos in pop and rock history, blending soulful vocals with tight harmonies and rhythmic precision. This track, featured on the 1996 compilation The Atlantic Collection, highlights their enduring appeal during a period of retrospective cataloging. While the duo is often celebrated for massive hits like "Maneater" and "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)," their extensive discography includes numerous recordings that showcase their versatility across genres. The song reflects their signature style of merging rock instrumentation with R&B sensibilities, a formula that defined their commercial success throughout the 1970s and 1980s. As part of their broader body of work, this recording serves as a reminder of the duo's consistent ability to craft memorable melodies and maintain a distinct sonic identity across decades of recording. |
