Rock n roll.

Rock n roll.

A Poem by Paul Bell

Let’s say goodbye to rock n roll, goodbye.

The wild days, the ones we played, rock n roll,

Now the words have strayed, gone away.

We play it out, every day, Rock n roll.


It’s only Rock n roll baby, so heavy

Listen to the words

Don’t they tell you something

They say I was wrong

Hear me, baby, cos I die tonight

Rock n roll baby, so heavy

Roll me another joint, and I’ll tell you about my life

The story of my death

But don’t fret baby, it’s only Rock n roll

So heavy, listen to the words

They say, give into hell and sin

Make believe people go insane

Pop a few pills, Rock n roll

Listen to the words of my final epitaph

But don’t fret baby

It's only Rock n roll.


Let’s say goodbye to rock n roll, goodbye.

The wild days, the ones we played, rock n roll,

Now the words have strayed, gone away.

We play it out, every day, Rock n roll.

I. WILL. NEVER. SAY GOODBYE TO ROCK N ROLL. How would I sustain my anger without Rage Against The Machine's Killing In The Name Of, or AC/DC's Thunderstruck, or Black Sabbath's War Pigs. Nope. This piece rates 2 Groovy's, a Bitchin' and 4 Cool, Man's.

Sending you a crate of bud.
It's only rock n roll, but I like it. Though some say it died in that plane crash with Buddy, it seems to have survived and even flourished. Not so for many who love it, however.

How the legends are made.
People write sad songs. Look at the lyrics for most country and western songs. :-)
