Mr. Rock & Roll
Amy Macdonald Lyrics

So-called Mr Rock & Roll,
The person known as Mr. Rock & Roll,

Is dancing on his own again,
Is dancing alone again,

Talking on his phone again,
Talking on the phone again,

To someone who tells him that his balance is low.
To someone who informs him that his balance is low.

He's got nowhere to go, he's on his own again.
He has no destination, he is alone once again.

Rock Chick of the century,
The female rock musician of the century,

Is acting like she used to be,
Is acting the way she used to be,

Dancing like there's no-one there.
Dancing as if there is no one present.

Before she never seemed to care,
Previously, she didn't seem to care,

Now she wouldn't dare.
Now she wouldn't take the risk.

It's so Rock & Roll to be alone.
Being alone is typical of the rock and roll lifestyle.

And they'll meet one day far away,
They'll encounter each other someday, far away,

And say, 'I wish I was something more.'
And express remorse for not being something more.

Mrs Black & White she's never seen a shade of grey,
Mrs Black & White has never experienced ambiguity,

Always something on her mind,
She's always preoccupied,

Every single day.
Every day without exception.

But now she's lost her way,
But now she's lost her direction,

And where does she go from here?
Where should she go from here?

Mr. Multicultural sees all that one can see,
Mr. Multicultural observes everything that is observable,

He's living proof of someone very different to me.
He is an example of someone who is very different from me.

But now he wants to be free,
But now he desires freedom,

Free so he can see.
Free so he can observe.

He'll say, 'I wish I knew you
He'll say, 'I regret not knowing you

I wish I met you when time was still on my side.'
I regret not meeting you when there was still time.

She'll say, 'I wish I knew you
She'll say, 'I regret not knowing you

I wish I loved you before I was his bride.'
I regret not loving you before I married him.

And so they must depart,
So they must say goodbye,

Two many more broken hearts.
Two more hearts that will be broken.

But I've seen that all before,
But I've seen that happen in the past,

In T.V, books, and film and more.
In television, books, movies, and more.

And there's a happy ending,
And there's a happy outcome,

Every single day.
Every day without exception.

And they'll meet one day far away,
And someday they will meet far away,

And say, 'I wish I was something more.'
And express regret for not being something more.

And they'll meet one day far away
And someday they will meet far away.

And say, 'I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before.'
And express regret for not knowing each other in the past.
