So-called Mr Rock & 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 & 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 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, '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,
|
Two many more broken hearts.
|
But I've seen that all before,
|
In T.V, 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
|
