Ian Hunter - Still Love Rock n Roll Lyrics

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, for the whole of our lives

And 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, I put the kettle on the stove
And 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
Yeah, 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 feeling 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
Yeah, I still love rock 'n' roll, I still love rock, oh yeah
[Incomprehensible]

I know what you're thinkin'
It's a little bit strange to you
I know what you're thinkin'
'Cause I'm thinkin' the same way too

But oh, those two little four letter words
They're all you need to know
'Cause when it all comes down to it
I don't like the sound of it
When you mess around with it
'Cause 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 song
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
Yeah, I still love rock 'n' roll, I said, I still love, oh, I still love
Oh, I still love rock, oh, I still love rock, I still love rock 'n' roll
Oh, I still love rock, I still love rock, I still love rock 'n' roll
[Incomprehensible]
