So called Mr Rock And Roll

Is 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 never 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 "Hey, I wish I was something more".
And they'll meet one day
Far away,
And say "Hey, 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 can 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 "Hey, I wish I was something more".
And they'll meet one day
Far away,
And say "Hey, I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before"!

He says "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 are 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 "Hey, I wish I was something more".
And they'll meet one day
Far away,
And say "Hey, I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before"!
