So called Mr. Rock & Roll
Is dancing on his own again
Talking on his phone again
To someone who tells him that his balance is low
Hes got nowhere to go
Hes on his own againRock chick of the century
Is acting like she used to be
Dancing like theres no one there
Before she ever seemed to care
Now she wouldnt dare
Its so rock and roll to be aloneAnd theyll meet one day far away
And say, "I wish I was something more"
And theyll meet one day far away
And say, "I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before"Mrs. Black and White
Shes never seen a shade of gray
Always something on her mind
Every single day
But now shes lost her way
And where does she go from here?Mr. Multicultural
Sees all that one could see
Hes living proof of someone
Very different to me
But now he wants to be free
Free so he can seeAnd theyll meet one day far away
And say, "I wish I was something more"
And theyll meet one day far away
And say, "I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before"He'll say, "I wish I knew you
I wish I met you when time was still on my side"
Shell say, "I wish I knew you
I wish I loved you before I was his bride"And so they must depart
Too many more broken hearts
But Ive seen that all before
In TV, books and film and more
And theres a happy ending
Every single dayAnd theyll meet one day far away
And say, "I wish I was something more"
And theyll meet one day far away
And say, "I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before"
