lyrics

A long time ago and so far away
At just thirteen years old
You'd sit in your room as the record played
And dream of going gold
Remember your dad with a smile on his face
Pretending he was a Ramone
And Ma was singing Do You Wanna Dance
Thank God for rock and roll

Does rock n roll forgive?
Does rock n roll forget?
Does rock n roll may you sad?
Does rock n roll make you mad?
Does rock n roll make amends?
Is rock n roll your best friend?
Oh the times that you had - the Rollers in plaid / done up in plaid / when you were fab...
When Rock n roll met your dad

All you kids that sing about teenage kicks
And shout out rock and roll
Don't let them make you trade your guitar licks
For someone else's clothes
May someday soon the songs you pen
Be heard around the world

Now 25 years have gone by in a blur
Your Mama doesn't dance no more
But once in a while you swear you see her there
When Dee Dee counts to four

Kopko/Baglio

Channeling The Kinks, The Who, The Ramones, Brian Wilson - a sound described by some as “a cool drink of strawberry lemonade, with a sprig of mint and a gut-punch chaser.” ... more

It's rare to find a CD that is both a pop and concept album full of hooks and oddness that one can play it over and over again without it getting old because it's so musically rich with interesting material. SonOfHermit
