about

I couldn’t get my head around what life would actually be like if ‘rock’n’roll’ had never happened, so instead here are a few things we would have missed out on…

lyrics

Elvis never met the Colonel
Brad and Janet just drove on
Ian Hunter never kept a journal
Marc and Mickey didn’t ‘Get it On’
No-one ever shouted “Judas!”
Ringo never got the call
Nothing was bigger than Jesus
The Sixties never started at all

No ‘Blackboard Jungle’
No ‘Rebel Without a Cause’
There never was no future
Rock’n’Roll never was…

Brian never played the ‘Pinball’
Mark never had the Fall
Bill Nelson just ‘Quit Dreaming’
And Stupid never formed at all

Ritchie never got on the ‘plane
There never was any ‘Purple Rain’
No Bikini Kill, no Comet Gain
There was no ‘Train in Vain’!

No bored teenagers
No Punk Rock record stores
No way to express anger
Rock’n’Roll never was
Bob never sang he wished he didn’t know now
What he didn’t know then because
Nothing ever happened
Rock’n’Roll never was…
