Lyrics

The cars, the guitars
Oh man, the amplifiers
Atomic bombs and sex bombs
Shooting monkeys toward the stars
Teenagers out of control
For rock and roll
I seen them Cadillacs
Long and low with the big old fins
A beautiful dream
The world we were living in
It ain't like that no more
The fabric done got tore
1959, The golden year
You could set your sights
On the stratosphere
The world was a window
Everything seemed so fine
Yeah, the sun did shine
On 1959, 1959, yeah
The Wild and the Innocent
The 400 Blows
Mack the Knife
Brigitte Bardot
Poison Ivy, El Paso
And North by Northwest
Ah, Hitchcock!
Planet Nine from Outer Space
The worst might be the best
The Battle of New Orleans
Summertime Blues
Miles Davis, Kind of Blue
Goldfinger, Naked Lunch
And Some Like It Hot
The Twilight Zone, the Guggenheim
Bonanza and the Polka Dot
1959, The golden year
You could set your sights
On the stratosphere
The world was a window
Everything seemed so fine
Yeah, the sun did shine
On 1959, 1959, yeah
Ah, a Fender Jaguar
A boy could dream
Play all day 'til your fingers bleed
Rock and roll was everywhere
And we heard the call
Two hundred and fifty bucks
Would get you a sunburst Les Paul
Of course we couldn't afford that
We'd have to make do
With a cheapo from Japan
Almost unplayable, it's true
But we wouldn't lay it down
'Til there wasn't no more day
Wake up in the morning
Pick it up and start to play
1959, The golden year
You could set your sights
On the stratosphere
The world was a window
Everything seemed so fine
Yeah, the sun did shine
On 1959, 1959, yeah
1959
