Rock And Roll
Razorlight Lyrics

There's too much silence in her night
She feels alone and isolated in the city at night.

She calls herself an angel, and she comes to town
She thinks highly of herself and wants attention from others.

I said L-O-N-D-O-N, just so she can fall
He used London as a metaphor for the fast-paced, intense lifestyle that he believes will overwhelm her.

There's something about the way she walks, you know
He is drawn to the way she carries herself.

It suits the city streets so well and yet
Her style and attitude seem to fit in with the urban environment, despite her claims of being an angel.

No one's heard her band yet, but they play real well
She talks a big game, but has yet to prove her musical talent to anyone.

Here it comes now, you don't care anyway
He knows she doesn't really care about him, but he still falls for her anyway.

He sees your eyes, you're just the rock'n'roll eyes
He's attracted to her because she embodies the rock 'n' roll lifestyle.

Oh but it's just lies, babe, it's just the rock'n'roll lies
He acknowledges that the lifestyle they're both chasing after is more a fantasy than a reality.

You've seen the man, he calls out for a drink, and you're all
She's surrounded by people in the music industry who are always looking for a good time.

You're all tied up in your backstage lines
She's busy with the behind-the-scenes aspects of the music industry.

And you, you just can't move a muscle
She's stressed out and exhausted from the demands of the industry.

Six in the morning and you rise and you fall, you got to
She's constantly pushing herself to keep going despite exhaustion and burnout.

You got to grab what you can
She feels like she needs to take advantage of every opportunity that comes her way in order to succeed in the music industry.

Here comes your man, baby, he's a winner, yeah
She's always on the lookout for someone who can help her succeed in the industry.

Oh baby, when you say my name I get, such a thrill inside
Despite everything, he's still excited by the thought of her.

She says there's something in the way that I look at her
She relates to him because she senses that they both harbor illusions about the music industry.

Yeah, I guess it's right here in my eyes
He admits that his interest in her is related to his own rock 'n' roll fantasies.

You see those eyes, they're just a rock'n'roll eyes
They both share a fascination with the lifestyle associated with the music industry.

Oh just like mine, babe, they're just a rock'n'roll eyes
He acknowledges that he's also caught up in this fantasy world.

Oh it's just the lies, babe, it's just the rock'n'roll lies
They both know that the image they project is more a product of the industry than a reflection of reality.

Oh it's just the lies, man, it's just the rock'n'roll lies
They both acknowledge that the story they tell themselves about the industry is a myth.
