'Twas then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love
Talking to the songbird yesterday
Flew me to a past not far away
She’s a little pilot in my mind
Singing songs of love to pass the time
Gonna write a song so she can see
Give her all the love she gives to me
Talk of better days that have yet to come
Never felt this love from anyone
She’s not anyone
I never knew love like this before
Now I’m lonely never more
Since you came into my life
You are my love light, this I know
And I’ll never let you go
You my all, you’re part of me
Sittin’ here resting my bones
And this loneliness won’t leave me alone, listen
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home, now
So, I’m just gon’ sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin’ the tide roll away, ooh
I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Wastin’ time
Skip the air strip to the sunset, yeah
Ride the arrow to the target - one
Take it hip to hip rocket through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss
Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without wings, without wheels
Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without anything but the love we feel
It might have been in county down
Or in New York, in gay Paris or even London Town
No more will I go all around the world
For I have found my world in you
There is a reason
And I don’t know what it is
A bloody season
Well, I’ve heard that these things happen
Worldwide
Worldwide
Don’t think I’ll ever understand it
Don’t think it matters if I do
Three billion people in the world
And I only know a few
Worldwide
Worldwide
Free your mind and float away, oh baby
You gotta lose all time and drift away, yea
The violence in the world is on the rise again
Free yourself, all the way, far away
Ah, climb a mountain to reach yourself
I climb a mountain to find zen, whoo
Day after day I’m more confused
Yet I look for the light through the pouring rain
You know that’s a game that I hate to lose
And I’m feelin’ the strain
Ain’t it a shame
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
I said I know it’s only rock ‘n’ roll but I like it
I know it’s only rock ‘n’ roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
The world is collapsing around our ears
I turned up the radio but I can’t hear it
Yeah
I tried to sing along
But damn that radio song
Hey hey hey
I’ve everything to show
I’ve everything to hide
Look into my eyes listen to the radio
I turned up the radio
But I can’t hear it
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio, what’s new?
Radio, someone still loves you!
That’s why God made the radio
So tune right in, everywhere you go
He waved His hand, gave us rock 'n roll
Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There’s more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.
'Twas the rock and roll creation
'Twas a terrible big bang
'Twas the ultimate mutation
Ying was searching for his yang
And he looked, and he saw that it was good
Here comes the dancers one by one
Your mama’s callin’ but you’re havin’ fun
You find you’re dancin’ on a number nine cloud
Put your hands together now and sing it out loud
It’s all part of my rock 'n roll fantasy
There’s a guy in my block, he lives for rock
He plays records day and night
And when he feels down he puts some rock ‘n’ roll on
And it makes him feel alright
And when he feels the world is closing in
He turns his stereo way up high
He just spends his life living in a rock ‘n’ roll fantasy
Hope ya’ll know what I’m talkin’ about
The way they wiggle that thing, it really knocks me out
I’m gettin’ high all the time, hope ya’ll are too
Well come-on a little closer, gonna do it to you
Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Lawdy mama light my fuse
Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Truck on out and spread the news
I read the news today, oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I’d love to turn you on
I open
Up the paper
There’s a story
Of an actor
Who had died
While he was drinking
He was no one
I had heard of
