Rock n Roll Fantasy - Bagatelle

Well, you write all your books about old rock and roll

The 50s, the 60s, the boogie, the soul

You put it on record, and sometimes you lie

But the artists, they lived, and they loved, and they died…

So I bought a guitar, and I learned me some tunes

I wrote me some songs, but they fell into ruins

And the music kept coming, I know how we tried

Still, the artists, they lived, and the loved, and they died…

But everybody’s got a rock and roll fantasy

And baby I’ll have mine

I’ve seen you play your guitars and pianos

And shaking your heads to the time

Imaginary crowds in Madison Square front-row

And I know you’ll be trying

But everybody’s got a rock and roll fantasy

And baby, I’ll have mine!

Well, the people, they listened, if just for a while

They gave us an inch, so we took us a mile

If we were up, they’d put us down, if we were down, they’d smile

Still, the artists, they lived, and they loved, and they died…

But everybody’s got a rock and roll fantasy

And baby I’ll have mine

I’ve seen you play your guitars and pianos

And shaking your heads to the time

Imaginary crowds in Madison Square front-row

And I know you’ll be trying

But everybody’s got a rock and roll fantasy

And baby, I’ll have mine!

Half past four in the morning, at the end of the line

We were in a motel and we were drinking some wine

Someone played our old record, he was taking a ride

Still, the artists, they lived, and they loved, and they died…

But everybody’s got a rock and roll fantasy

And baby I’ll have mine

I’ve seen you play your guitars and pianos

And shaking your heads to the time

Imaginary crowds in Madison Square front-rows

And I know you’ll be trying

But everybody’s got a rock and roll fantasy

And baby, I’ll have mine!

Rock and roll fantasy!
