Mr Rock & Roll

So called Mr Rock & Roll

He's dancing on his own again

Talking 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 acting like she used to be

Dancing like there's no-one there

Before she ever seemed to care

Now she wouldn't dare

It's so rock & roll to be alone



And they'll meet one day, far away

And say, I wish I was something more

And they'll meet one day, far away

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



Mrs Black & White

She's never seen a shade of grey

Always something on her mind

Every single day

But now she's lost her way

And where does she go from here?



Mr Multicultural

Sees all that one could see

He's living 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 something more

And they'll meet one day, far away

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



They'll say, I wish I knew you

I wish I met you when 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

Two many more a broken hearts

But I've seen that all before

In TV, books and films and more

And there's a happy ending

Every single day



And they'll meet one day, far away

And say, I wish I was something more

And they'll meet one day, far away

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