Verse: 1 
Where were you in '79 when the dam began to burst 
Did you check us out down at the local show 
Were you wearing denim, wearing leather 
Did you run down to the front 
Did you queue for your ticket through the ice and snow 
 
Chorus: 
Denim and Leather 
Brought us all together 
It was you that set the spirit free 
Denim and Leather 
Brought us all together 
It was you that set the spirit free 
 
Verse: 2 
Did you read the music paper from the back and to the front 
Did you find out where to see your favorite band 
Did you listen to the radio every Friday night 
Did hang around your local record store 
 
Chorus. 
 
Verse:3 
Do you dream of playing guitar or smashing up the drums 
Maybe you can learn to play the bass 
You can always be a singer like me and front the band 
When on the stage we wait at your command 
 
Chorus. 
 
Verse: 4 
It was you - that set the spirit free 
It was you - that put us here today 
It was you - that filled the concert halls 
It was you - that set the spirit free 
 
Chorus. 
(Repeat to end)
