-called Mr. Rock 'n 'Roll
is dancin' on his own again
talking on his phone again
to someone who tells him
that his balance is low
he's got nowhere to go
he's on his own again
rock chick of the century
is acting like she used to be dancing
like there's no one there before
she ever seemed to care
now she wouldn't dare
It's so rock 'n 'roll to feel at home
And they'll meet one day far away
And say, I wish I was something more
And they'll meet one day far away
And say, I wish I knew you
I wish I knew you before
Mrs. Black and White,
she's never seen a shade of grey
Always something on her mind,
every single day
But now she's lost her way,
and where does she go from here?
Mr. Multicultural sees all
that one could see
He's living proof of someone
very different to me
But now he wants to be free,
free so he can see
And they'll meet one day far away
And say, I wish I was something more
And they'll meet one day far away
And say, I wish I knew you
I wish I knew you before
She'll say, I wish I knew you,
I wish I met you
when time was still on my side
She'll say, I wish I knew you,
I wish I loved you before I was his bride
And so they must depart,
too many more broken hearts
But I've seen that all before
in TV books and film and more
And there's a happy ending
every single day
And they'll meet one day far away
And say, I wish I was something more
And I'll meet one day, far away
and say I wish I knew you,
I wish I knew you before
