Mr Rock & Roll
So-called Mr. Rock and Roll hes dancing on his own again
Talking on his phone again
To someone who tells him that his balance is low
Hes got nowhere to go, hes on his own again
Rock chick of the century is acting like she used to be
Dancing like theres no one there
Before she ever seemed to care, now she wouldnt dare
Its so rock and roll to be alone
And theyll meet one day far away, and say
'I wish I was something more'
And theyll meet one day far away and say
'I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before '
Mrs. Black and White, shes never seen a shade of grey
Always something on her mind, every single day
But now shes lost her way
And where does she go from here?
Mr. Multicultural sees all that one could see
Hes living proof of someone very different to me
But now he wants to be free
Free so he can see
And theyll meet one day far away, and say
'I wish I was something more'
And theyll meet one day far away and say
'I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before'
Hell say, 'I wish I knew you
I wish I met you when time was still on my side'
Shell say, 'I wish I knew you
I wish I loved you before I was his bride'
And so they must depart, too many more broken hearts
But Ive seen that all before
In TV, books, and film and more
And theres a happy ending, every single day
And theyll meet one day far away, and say
'I wish I was something more'
And theyll meet one day far away and say
'I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before'
