Mr. Rock & Roll

So-called Mr. Rock and 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 and 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 and 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"

He'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, too many more broken hearts

But I've seen that all before

In TV, books, and film 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"
