1. LONG BEFORE ROCK'N'ROLL

She said that I like just lying on the bed
Beneath the ceiling
With the head upon my pillow
There's nothing else I'd rather do
I said that I'd rather do it on the couch
Or in the kitchen whereabout
You seem so down, child,
Like nothing could destroy your world...

But I never ever wanted to
You would never ever let me to
I would but you must wait 'till it gets dark
So what is it that you want me to
I can make it if its good for you
So play me some from 1954
Before rock 'n roll
Yeah, before Rock'n'Roll
Before Rock 'n' Roll!

Well later she came
With flowers in her arms, said
We can do it in the car
My brother owns it
The driver seat is made for us"
And I said I'd rather grab a bite to eat
There is a diner down the street
Let's take it easy
And join this lovely harmony

But I never ever wanted to
You would never ever let me to
I would but you must wait 'till it gets dark
So what is it that you want me to
I can make it if its good for you
So play me some from 1954
Before rock 'n roll
Yeah, before Rock'n'Roll
Before Rock 'n' Roll!

Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Before Rock 'n' Roll...
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Before Rock 'n' Roll...

Long Before Rock 'n' Roll.
Before Rock 'n' Roll...

Yeah, yeah, yeaaaaaaargggggh!

Have you seen her face
She's covered up with glaze
Some of us know theres beauty cling on
I saw her walking by, saw her shimmering light
With no one around just the shadow and me there

Well its so hard to see through you and so easy to know
Oh its so hard to define you but i just dont wanna know
No i dont wanna know...

That all that i've become
All that i ever done
Couldnt save me from falling
All my life for you
Morning into noon
Teardrops out of position
It's so hard to be near you and so easy to love you're so easy to love
But its all understood

Dont believe everything you hear
She's mine for whatever we hold
Its a chemistry thing
Its a tale for the ages
Now wont you be my open books
Close your eyes
No dont ever look
Everything is in here, all that you ever wanted

Its so hard to see through you and so easy to know
Its so hard to define you but i just don;t wanna know
I just dont wanna know...

That all that i've become
All that i ever done
Couldn't save me from falling
All my life for you, morning into noon
Teardrops out of position
It's so hard to be, its so hard to see
Everything that i wanted
Force me out of hand, no one understands
Its my life with religion
Its so hard to see through you i just dont wanna know
Oh its so hard to define you
No i dont wanna know, i just dont wanna know
That its all understood

And all that i ever done
All that is said or done
Couldnt save me from falling
All my life for you, morning into noon
Teardrops out of position
And its so hard to see its so hard to be everything that i wanted
Force me out of hand no one understands
Its religion with purpose
Its so hard to see through you but i just dont wanna know
Oh its so hard to see through youre so easy to love
Youre so easy to love
But its all understood
But its all understood


3. CHI

An odyssey of light
Her hair was so divine
A symphony of shine
Why so sad, why’d you cry
I always try to do things right
Why are you mad, why don't smile
I always try to do things right
But i always do wrong
Chi cetica
I stole the light
Thief of the night
I stole the light
Her clothes was tone apart
They no longer hide her heart
Naked she lays beside
There's just nothing to hide
Why so sad, why’d you cry
I always try to do things right
Why you mad, why don't smile
I always try to do things right
But i always do wrong

3. CINDERELLA

I didn't feel the old umbrella
I was feeling my own self
I catched the old spark Cinderella
She was longing for James Dean

She was that high-heeled Girl
Which makes and twirls
And twiggy cigarettes
And all the papers they said
The Queen is dead
But she just blew my mind

And so shes dancing at the Disco
With her new pair of shoes
The guys just wanna have her
Cause she's looking kind of cute
The tiny girl is for rent,
Got money in bed
And paper in her mind
And all the children they said
Cindy is fake
But she just blew my mind

And i don't want no morning lights, no
I just want summer all around
I don't want no morning lights, no
I just want summer all around

I belive in magic and I believe in space
I believe in mantras and the human race
The tiny girl is for rent
Got money in bed
And paper in her mind
And all the children they said
Cindy is fake
But she just blew my mind

And I don't want no morning lights, no
I just want summer all around
I don't want no morning lights, no
I just want summer all around (x2)


4. CHET BAKER

Stop your crying oh little boy
'Cause I know a place that you will enjoy
It's a place that's full of diamonds and toys
And Chet Baker's playin' trumpet there

So go there now
Enjoy
Go there
Don't feel low
'Cause Chet Baker's playin' trumpet alone
For you

Don't you worry that girl is gone
Don't you worry for the things that she's done
Just relax, you still got time to go on
'Cause this place is openminded to you

So go there now
Enjoy
Go there
Don't feel low
'Cause Chet Baker's playin' trumpet for you
Alone

She said I like just lying on the bed

But I never ever wanted to
You would never ever let me to
I would but you must wait 'till it gets dark
So what is it that you want me to

So play some from 1954

Yeah, before Rock'n'Roll

With flowers in her arms, said

And I said I'd rather grab a bite to eat
