We decided to remix this tune, using performances from both previous versions. Only Paulo's keys and the bass were re-recorded.
Many thanks to Paulo for the hours spent in creating a couple of great mixes. The guitars are clearer, the keys nicely present, the vocals enhanced with harmonies and the rhythm section particularly the drums sound great. The tune now rocks better. Well, at least I think so

Riff: D G A
G
Sent a demo out to the promo man
Said he'd gonna do what he can
When you don't know somebody at the top
You never get to know where it's gonna stop
C
Sorry guys I've got to tell you
G
You didn't make the grade
C
There's this other rocking band
A
The choice was ready made
So you get back to running all over town
Looking for a place to get your music down
You put with a hundred half baked deals
No matter what they pay what you feel
Our love of music will never die
Our heads will never drop
We're gonna leave all that behind
We're going to reach the top
Chorus:
D
Big nights ----open up for us
G A
Bright lights--will be shining down
D
Hold tight------going all the way up
G A
Yeah we're gonna rock this town
D
Big nights-----open up for us
G
Bright lights---shining down on us
Bm A
Big nights you can't touch us now
Making nice and dealing with people all day
Just to get a gig just to get a date
Hanging onto words don't mean a thing
Thinking of the breaks they're gonna bring
It's a hard world out there
It's easy to get cut
You have to be on your toes
You have to mind your if and buts
Chorus
Big nights ----open up for us
Bright lights--will be shining down
Hold tight------going all the way up
Yeah we're gonna rock this town
Big nights-----open up for us
Bright lights---shining down on us
Big nights you can't touch us now
