Rock'n'Roll Kids

I remember sixty-two
I was sixteen and so were you
And we lived next door on the avenue

Jerry Lee was big and Elvis too
Blue jeans and blue suede shoes
And we never knew what life held in store
We just wanted to rock'n'roll forever more

We were the rock'n'roll kids
Rock'n'roll was all we did
And listenin' to those songs on the radio
I was yours and you were mine
That was once upon a time
Now we never seem to rock'n'roll anymore

Now Johnny's in love with the girl next door
And Mary's down at the record store
They don't wanna be around us no more

Golden oldies but we hardly speak
Too busy running to a different beat
Hard to understand we were once like them
How I wish we could find those rock'n'roll days again

We were the rock'n'roll kids
Rock'n'roll was all we did
And listenin' to those songs on the radio
I was yours and you were mine
That was once upon a time
Now we never seem to rock'n'roll anymore

I was yours and you were mine
That was once upon a time
Now we never seem to rock'n'roll
Now we never seem to rock'n'roll anymore


Nota: Canção vencedora do Festival Eurovisão da Canção de 1994 em representação da Irlanda. Curiosamente, o ano em que foi tirada a foto que vos deixo. Quando as palavras faltam, por vezes, somos tentados a fazer nossas, aquelas que mais se aproximam do que teríamos para dizer. Pois bem... Hoje fui importá-las à Irlanda. Espero que não se importem...
Caso queiram recordar essa actuação, aqui fica o vídeo... Até breve.
