De qué habla
Un hombre recuerda 1962, cuando él y su vecina tenían dieciséis años y solo querían escuchar a Jerry Lee Lewis y a Elvis en la radio. Fueron pareja y vivían para el rock and roll, pero ahora, con hijos que ya no quieren estar con ellos, apenas hablan y no han vuelto a bailarlo. Con ella ganó Irlanda en 1994, su tercera victoria seguida.
Letra
I remember '62
I was sixteen and so were you
And we lived next door,
On the avenue.
Jerry Lee was big and Elvis too;
Blue jeans and blue suede shoes,
And we never knew
What life held in store.
We just wanted to rock 'n' roll forever more.
We were the Rock 'n' Roll Kids
And Rock 'n' Roll was all we did
And listening to those songs on the radio;
I was yours and you were mine
But that was once upon a time,
Now we never seem to Rock 'n' Roll anymore.
Now Johnny's in love with the girl next door,
And Mary's down at the record store,
They don't want to be...around us no more.
"Golden Oldies" but we hardly speak
Too busy running to a different beat
Hard to understand, we were once like them.
How I wish we could find those Rock 'n' Roll days again.
We were the Rock 'n' Roll Kids
And Rock 'n' Roll was all we did,
And listening to those songs on the radio;
I was yours and you were mine,
But that was once upon a time,
Now we never seem to Rock and Roll anymore.
I was yours and you were mine
That was once upon a time,
Now we never seem to Rock and Roll...
We just never seem to Rock and Roll anymore.
