So called Mr. Rock & Roll

Is dancing on his own again

Talking on his phone againTo someone who tells him

That his balance is low

He′s got nowhere to go

He's on his own again

Rock chick of the century

Is acting like she used to be

Dancing like there′s no one there

Before she ever seemed to care

Now she wouldn't dare

It's so rock and roll to be alone

And they′ll meet one day far away

And say, "Me, I wish I was something more"

And they′ll meet one day far away

And say, "Me, I wish I knew you

I wish I knew you before"

Mrs. Black and White

She's never seen a shade of gray

Always something on her mind

Every single day

But now she′s lost her way

And where does she go from here?

Mr. Multicultural

Sees all that one could see

He's living proof of someone

Very different to me

But now he wants to be free

Free so he can see

And they′ll meet one day far away

And say, "Me, I wish I was something more"

And they'll meet one day far away

And say, "Me, I wish I knew you

I wish I knew you before"

He′ll say, "Me, I wish I knew you

I wish I met you when time was still on my side"

She'll say, "Me, 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 I've seen that all before

In TV, books and film and more

And there′s a happy ending

Every single day

And they′ll meet one day far away

And say, "Me, I wish I was something more"

And they'll meet one day far away

And say, "Me, I wish I knew you

I wish I knew you before"
