So called mr rock n roll
he´s dancing 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 and roll to be alone

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

Chorus

He´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 two 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.

Chorus
