Dream Time in Lake Jackson
The KLF Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Я люблю слушать современный Rock`n`Roll.
Он снова в моде, он бесспорно хорош.
Но кажется мне, он много потеряет без таких ребят,
Ведь мы его дети, Rock`n`Roll это я!!!

О-о-о-о-о
О-о-о-о-о
Мы играли забвенно, бездарно бренча.
Мы делали много просто так, сгоряча.
Но я люблю те времена бриллиантовых дней.
Когда я был в кругу своих лучших друзей.

О-о-о-о-о
О-о-о-о-о

Мы брали аккорды, влезая на стол.
И он всем нравился этот наш rock`n`roll.
Но тех, кому он нравился я давно не встречал.
А тех, с кем я пел почти потерял.

О-о-о-о-о
О-о-о-о-о

Я люблю слушать современный Rock`n`Roll.
Он снова в моде, он бесспорно хорош.
Но кажется мне, он много потеряет без таких ребят,
Ведь мы его дети, Rock`n`Roll это я!!!

Rock`n`Roll это я!!!
Rock`n`Roll это я!!!
Rock`n`Roll это мы!!!
Rock`n`Roll это мы!!!

Overall Meaning

The KLF's song Dream Time in Lake Jackson is a nostalgic ode to the golden era of Rock 'n' Roll, and a reflection on the passing of time and the fleeting nature of youth. The lyrics, sung in Russian, express the singer's love for the genre and his pride in being a product of it: "I love to listen to modern Rock 'n' Roll. It's back in fashion, it's undoubtedly good. But it seems to me that it will lose a lot without guys like us, for we are its children, Rock 'n' Roll is me!". The singer recalls fondly the days when he and his friends would play Rock 'n' Roll carelessly and passionately, without any concern for success or recognition. They would experiment with chords, jam together, and create music that they loved. But as time went by, the singer and his friends drifted apart, and the world moved on. The singer wonders if the new generation of Rock 'n' Roll fans will be able to appreciate the genre for all that it represents, and if they will be able to create the same sense of camaraderie and creativity that he and his friends once shared.

Guys, this is actually older than Massive Attack, so they are at least the second in using that sample - just for the record

Muddy Soul

..& presumably any of the members of The KLF?!
