Still Love Rock n Roll — текст песни (Ian Hunter)

(Ian Hunter)

Way back in the 50`s - you never said a wrong word
People were clean - people were mean
Children should be seen, but children should be not heard
You learned to keep your mouth shut - you did what you were told
But then one day the radio played the sound that we`d all been waiting for
The whole of our lives `n`

I still love Rock `n` Roll - I play it every day
Hummin` along, singin` the song
It`s the only way - I know how to say what`s on my mind

I get up in the morning - put the kettle on the stove
Tommy Steele croons a Guy Mitchell tune
I never felt more like singin` the blues - but if I had to choose
You know I still love rock `n` roll
I still love rock `n` roll (let me hear ya)

I never been to Lubbock, Texas or Memphis, Tennessee
I never washed dishes in Macon, Georgia
I wasn`t half as good and I wasn`t half as pretty as you
But I still got the feelings - embedded in my soul
A rebel armada - Kettering, Granada
It ain`t my fault that I never grew up - I got bitten by your bug
And I still love rock `n` roll, I still love rock `n` roll, I still love rock

I know what you`re thinkin` - it`s a little bit strange to you
I know what you`re thinkin` - `cos I`m thinkin` the same way too
But oh those two little four letter words - they`re all you need to know
`cos when it all comes down to it - I don`t like the sound of it
When you mess around with it - I`m still in it for the thrill of it
I know you tried to kill it but

I still love rock `n` roll - I play it every day
Hummin` along - singin` the songs
It`s the only way I know how to say what`s on my mind

I get up every morning - I put the coffee on the stove
The computer`s gone - the turntable`s on
I can`t believe it`s 2001 - God, I must be knockin` on
But I still love rock `n` roll, I still love rock `n` roll,
