IAN HUNTER - Still Love Rock n Roll lyrics

rate me

(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,
