Mr Rock & Roll

So-called Mr. Rock & Roll is dancin' on his own again

Talkin' on his phone again to someone who tells him that his balance is low

He's got nowhere to go

He's on his own again

Rock chick of the century is actin' like she used to be

Dancin' like there's no one there, before she ever seemed to care

Now she wouldn't dare

It's so rock and roll to be alone

And they'll meet one day, far away

And say, "I wish I was somethin' more"

And they'll meet one day, far away

And say, "I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before"

Mrs. Black and White, she's never seen a shade of gray

Always somethin' on her mind, every single day

But now she's lost her way

And where does she go from here?

Mister Multicultural sees all that one could see

He's livin' proof of someone very different to me

But now he wants to be free

Free, so he can see

And they'll meet one day, far away

And say, "I wish I was somethin' more"

And they'll meet one day, far away

And say, "I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before"

He'll say, "I wish I knew you

I wish I met you and time was still on my side"

She'll say, "I wish I knew you

I wish I loved you before I was his bride"

And so they must depart, too many more and broken hearts

But I've seen that all before in TV, books and film, and more

And there's a happy endin'

Every single day

And they'll meet one day, far away

And say, "I wish I was somethin' more"

And they'll meet one day, far away

And say, "I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before"
