On with the Show (Motley Crue cover) Lyrics
Frankie died just the other night
Some say it was suicide
But we know how the story goes
With his six string knife
And his street-wise pride
The boy was a man before his time
And she knew all their dreams would come true
But you see Frankie was fast
He was too fast to know
He wouldn't go slow until his lethal dose
And she knows he'll finally come too close
(Chorus)
Well on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on baby
No, no, no
Oh my, my, my, my, my, my
(Chorus)
He was bad, he was never good
But one thing that he understood
And she knew all these lies would come true
The time has come and he's paid his dues
And Suzy finally got the news
She always knew this day would come soon
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
He was stopped on a dime with a switchblade knife
Some damn punk went and took Frankie's life
And she knew she'd have to pull through
Broken down with his broken dreams
With a wink of an eye said:
"Suzy, listen to me
You must go on with the show"
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
Oh baby
Some say it was suicide
But we know how the story goes
And his street-wise pride
The boy was a man before his time
And she knew all their dreams would come true
He was too fast to know
He wouldn't go slow until his lethal dose
And she knows he'll finally come too close
Well on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on baby
No, no, no
Oh my, my, my, my, my, my
But one thing that he understood
And she knew all these lies would come true
And Suzy finally got the news
She always knew this day would come soon
Some damn punk went and took Frankie's life
And she knew she'd have to pull through
With a wink of an eye said:
"Suzy, listen to me
You must go on with the show"

This song seems to be about someones love that was killed and the other who should be the most broken is the strongest. This is a song about moving on and being strong.
This is a Motley Crue cover...
this song is awesome! its sad if u listen to the lyrics, but it's so real. it's also awesome cuz it reminds me of the outsiders, which is the best book ever.
I liek the ataris version
I personally like this version better then The Ataris..the Ataris are great, but not at this song. They don't seem to have the right beat to it. The Get Up Kids do it so much better with vocals and beat.
This is definitely from The Motley Crue, but I do believe its about life on the streets and what its like to live on the streets.
This Crue cover is talking about Frank Feranna
I havent heard the other versions, but I loved the get up kids version as soon as I heard it!
