Once Bitten Twice Shy
(ian hunter)
Well the times gettin hard for you little girl
Im a hummin and a strummin all over gods world
You dont remember when you got your last meal
And you forgot just how a woman feels
You didnt know what rock n roll was
Until you met a drummer on a greyhound bus
I got there in the nick of time
Before he got his hands across your state line
Well in the middle of the night
On the open road
And the heater dont work and its oh-so cold
Youre gettin tired, youre lookin kinda beat
The music of the street, drive you off your feet
You didnt know how rock n roll looked
Until you caught your sister with a guy from the group
Half-way home in the parking lot
By the look in her eyes she was givin what she got
Once bitten twice shy, babe
Woman youre a mess gonna die in your sleep
All the blood on my hand and my les paul heat
I cant leave you home cos youre runnin around
My best friend told me youre the best trick in town
You didnt know that rock n roll burned
So you bought a candle and you loved and you learned
You got the rhythm, you got the speed
Mammas little baby likes it short and sweet
Once bitten twice shy, babe
I didnt know ya got a rock n roll record
Until a saw your picture on another guys jacket
You told me I was the only one
And look at you now, well its dark as its dumb
Once bitten twice shy, babe

Close Enough
I may not be a pillar in my town
Or have the kind of job, you think that I should
I know you see me out runnin around with a couple of people
You think are no good
Ive tried to clean it up a couple of times, but im a
Backslidin fool when it comes to walkin that line
Its ok. you think, youre better than me
Yeah, thats all right, girl, thats all right
Chorus:
cause im close enough for rock and roll
Close enough for rock and roll
Close enough for rock and roll
Im close enough for a little rock and roll
Yeah, its true, I dont plan my time
When youre looking for me, I m hard to find
I know, you dont wanna run around with me
With my socks fallin down, girl, im just poor company
Ive seen your face, and its a one-eyed jack
We like to talk about this or that
None of these things really interest me
Hey, thats all right, girl, thats all right
Chorus:
cause im close enough for rock and roll
Close enough for rock and roll
Close enough for rock and roll
Im close enough for a little rock and roll
I know you think im a rough cut, baby
I aint as rough cut as I am the blood on your hands
Gonna love that blood right off your hands

God Gave Rock n Roll To You Ii
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
Do you know what you want? you dont know for sure
You dont feel right, you cant find a cure
And youre gettin less than what youre lookin for
You dont have money or a fancy car
And youre tired of wishin on a falling star
You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar
Chorus:
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone (oh yeah)
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
Now listen
If you wanna be a singer, or play guitar
Man, you gotta sweat or you wont get far
Cause its never too late to work nine-to-five
You can take a stand, or you can compromise
You can work real hard or just fantasize
But you dont start livin till you realize - I gotta tell ya!
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul
(instrumental break)
God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you, saved rock and roll for everyone
Saved rock and roll
Chorus repeats out...
I know life sometimes can get tough! and I know life sometimes can be a drag!
But people, we have been given a gift, we have been given a road
And that roads name is... rock and roll!

If You Dont Like Rock Roll
Youd never know there was some music playin
Until you talked your way inside the door
And then a sound like rollin thunder
Begins to push you right thru the floor
And theres a great white sign
With big black letters
That just about explains it all
If you dont like rock n roll
Well, if you dont like rock n roll
If you dont like rock n roll
Then its too late now
Well its too late now
Hey hey
Of course there was the usual lady
And she was dressed the way the stories tell
So bein cool I made a move to grab her
But you could see she read story well
And then she whipped out a card
With big black letters
That just about explained it all
Well if you dont like rock n roll
If you dont like rock n roll
Well if you dont like rock n roll
Then youre too late now
Then youre too late now
Well, if you dont like rock n roll
Well, if you dont like rock n roll, yeah
If you dont like rock n roll
Well its too late now
Well youre too late now
If you dont like rock n roll
If you dont like my rock n roll
Then youre too late now
Then youre too late now
Then youre too late, too late now

Your Daddy Dont Rock & Roll
Your mama dont dance and your daddy dont
Rock and roll
Your mama dont dance and your daddy dont
Rock and roll
But when evening comes around and its time to
Hit the town
Where do you go - rock and roll
The old folks say that ya gotta end your date
By ten
But if youre out on a date and you
Bring her home late its a sin
You know theres no excuse
You know youre gonna lose you never win
Ill say it again
And its all because your mama dont dance
And your daddy dont rock and roll
Your mama dont dance and your daddy dont
Rock and roll
When evenin rolls around and its time to
Hit the town
Where do you go - rock and roll
(lead)
Pulled into a drive-in and
I found a place to park
We hopped into the backseat where ya know its nice and dark
Im just about to move thinking to myself mmm
Bret this is a breeze
Then theres a light in my eye and a guy says
Out of the car long hair
Oowee - youre coming with me
Said the local police
And its all because your mama dont dance
And your daddy dont rock and roll
Your mama dont dance and your daddy dont
Rock and roll
When evenin rolls around and its time to
Hit the town
Where do you go -to rock and roll,where do ya go? to rock and roll,where do ya
Go? to rocka and roll, wher do ya go? to rock and roll

Rock n Roll Hero
I sold my soul to rock n roll, when it didnt cost a thing
Stacks of scratched up 45s and taught myself how to sing
What does it take to be a rock n roll hero, just like the king
Livin your life in a blaze of glory, burnin it up in a smoke filled club
Givin your soul to the world
Chorus:
Like a rock n roll hero, a soldier of fortune in the night
Like a rock n roll hero, when the white hot lights cut thru the night
And the sound of the thunder starts roaring
Thats when you know what youre savin it for
And youre feeling like a rock n roll hero
I owe it all to rock n roll, and I wouldnt want to change a thing
Got this old guitar strapped round my neck, and my baby waitin in the wings
What does it take to be a rock n roll hero, just like the king
Livin your life in a blaze of glory, a spark in your eyes
A flame in your soul, givin it all to the world
(chorus)
Yes youre feeling like, oh youre feeling like
(chorus)
(like a rock n roll hero, like a rock n roll hero)

Rollin The Rock
Feels so cold, so alone
An empty stage, no one home
I feel so strange, so scared
No point in screaming
I wont be heard
Youre so cold, youre so cool
Its so dark in this tomb
Time has come so soon
And time takes no prisoners
Except in the womb
Theres no way out, no escape
This silence is deafening
I have to cry out
Youre so cold, youre so cool
Its so dark in this tomb
Roll away the rock
Roll the rock away
Set me free from this grave
Am I forgiven, can I be saved?
Youve been so cold for so long
This silence is deafening
Was I so wrong?
Youre so cold, youre so cool
Its so dark in this tomb
Roll away the rock
Take that rock and roll it
Roll away the rock
You gotta roll the rock away
This silence is deafening

Thats The Way I Wanna Rock N Roll
Party gonna happen at the union hall
Shaking to the rhythm til everybody fall
Picking up my woman in my chevrolet
Glory hallelujah gonna rock the night away
Im gonna roll roll roll
Im gonna roll roll roll
Im gonna take this town, turn it around
Im gonna roll roll roll
Now theres a blue suede bopping on a high heeled shoe
Balling round together like a wrecking crew
Oh be bopper lubba baby what I say
You gotta get a dose of rock and roll on each and every day
Were gonna roll roll roll

I Want Rock Roll
I want to go back to fifty-five
Ten before I was burned alive
There aint no use in a stupid dream
My head is tired from this enthymeme
I want to hear the holy ramage
I dont mind a little ear damage
Henry sloane in my soca soul
Im not ashamed to say I want rock & roll
Id like to hear some cubby checker
Crush my heart with desmond dekker
Little itty bitty of freddy fender
Start me up return to sender
I want rock & roll

Learning How To Rocknroll
Billy on his way to school
Didnt care too much about the teachers and rules
But he had a plan he said hed try it one day
One he knew would leave them all with nothing to say
He had a friend who said hed teach him how to rock and roll
After school when he was feelin good
Hed go home and do the things that he understood
He would rock in the kitchen and roll in the hall
And billys mother said you got no sense at all
But we know too well that he was
Learning how to rock and roll
cos he would rock in the kitchen roll in the hall
Stand on the tv and climb up the wall
Jive on the ceiling lay on the floor
Crawl through the bathroom and cry out for more
And thats the only way to do it
When youre learning how to rock and roll
Teach me to rock...
Willy turns to the mirror and gives his hair a flip
He would mime to elvis and curl his lip
Ha ha in the kitchen
Ha ha in the hall
Willys mother said you got no sense at all
But we know too well that he was
Learning how to rock and roll
cos he would rock in the kitchen roll in the hall
Stand on the tv and climb up the wall
Jive on the ceiling lay on the floor
Crawl through the bathroom and cry out for more
And thats the only way to do it
When youre learning how to rock and roll
Teach me to rock...
He learnt to rock and roll
And sing the blues
He learnt to head shake
While singing blue suede shoes
He learnt a hand clap
Off the beat
And at the gig he had them out of their seats
Its the only way to do it so long live rock and roll
cos he would rock in the kitchen roll in the hall
Stand on the tv and climb up the wall
Jive on the ceiling lay on the floor
Crawl through the bathroom and cry out for more
And thats the only way to do it
When youre learning how to rock and roll
Teach me to rock...

Its Only Rock n Roll
(rodney crowell)
Well, its only rock and roll keep you running from yourself
When the only way to slow down is to fall
And its only rock and roll that caused you to leave home
When the only way to get back is to crawl
But the record people love you they can get you on the bill
Change your name to money dress up fit to kill
People all around you everywhere you go
Dont worry if they love you son its only rock and roll
Yes and its only rock and roll keep you jumping all the time
When you really ought to sit this one out
And its only rock and roll keep on messin with your mind when
You dont know what theyre talkin about
All around the world everywhere you go
People got to have it cause its only rock and roll
Its only rock and roll yes its only rock and roll
People all around you everywhere you go
Dont worry if they love you, cause its only rock and roll
Well its only rock and roll when your moneys in the mail
And your loves on the back of the bus
And its only rock and roll when your records start to sell
And you dont know why theyre making such a fuss
Telephone receiver ringin off the wall
Can I get witness each and every call
Second that emotion chased into your soul
Dont worry lest you linger, son its only rock and roll
Its only rock and roll yes its only rock and roll
People all around you everywhere you go

Rock Roll Is Dead
You think youre on top of the world
But you know its really over
Runnin round with diamond rings
And coke spoons that are overflowin
Rock and roll is dead
But all the money in the world
Cant buy you from the place youre going to
Rock and roll is dead (x3)
You cant even sing or play an instrument
So you just scream instead
Youre living for an image
So you got five hundred women in your bed
Rock and roll is dead
But its real hard to be yourself
When youre living with those demons
In your head
Rock and roll is dead (x3)

Youre a rock-n-roll star
You are out of the charts
Your blood is cold youre getting old
But your life is rock-n-roll

Each and every way ya make the thoughts
Is about stars on the chart
Ohhh...and they are top of the bill
Youre a rock-n-roll star
