[length: 05:34]
[00:16.32]The old Rocker wore his hair too long,
[00:22.95]wore his trouser cuffs too tight.
[00:28.56]Unfashionable to the end — drank his ale too light.
[00:40.72]Death’s head belt buckle — yesterday’s dreams —
[00:46.65]the transport caf’ prophet of doom.
[00:53.15]Ringing no change in his double-sewn seams
[00:58.13]in his post-war-babe gloom.
[01:03.98]Now he’s too old to Rock’n’Roll but he’s too young to die.
[01:31.04]He once owned a Harley Davidson and a Triumph Bonneville.
[01:43.59]Counted his friends in burned-out spark plugs
[01:49.72]and prays that he always will.
[01:55.44]But he’s the last of the blue blood greaser boys
[01:59.98]all of his mates are doing time:
[02:08.55]married with three kids up by the ring road
[02:14.93]sold their souls straight down the line.
[02:20.83]And some of them own little sports cars
[02:27.08]and meet at the tennis club do’s.
[02:33.25]For drinks on a Sunday — work on Monday.
[02:39.35]They’ve thrown away their blue suede shoes.
[02:44.37]Now they’re too old to Rock’n’Roll and they’re too young to die.
[03:27.42]So the old Rocker gets out his bike
[03:33.61]to make a ton before he takes his leave.
[03:40.11]Up on the A1 by Scotch Corner
[03:46.74]just like it used to be.
[03:52.46]And as he flies — tears in his eyes —
[03:58.22]his wind-whipped words echo the final take
[04:04.62]and he hits the trunk road doing around 120
[04:11.43]with no room left to brake.
[04:15.61]And he was too old to Rock’n’Roll but he was too young to die.
[04:41.67]No, you’re never too old to Rock’n’Roll if you’re too young to die.
