The most rock n roll lyrics in rock n roll

[roseaster]

"There ain't one damn song that can make me break down and cry."

 

[NYCgrrl]

" Why must I chase the cat ....why must I chase the cat? Nothing but the dog in me".

 

[Cannot_Wait_4Disney]

Ok an obvious one.

One to three o'clock four o'clock rock.
Five six seven o'clock 8 o'clock rock
.....
We're gonna rock around the clock all night

Bill Haley and the comets.

 

[Cannot_Wait_4Disney]

Another obvious one.

Jail house rock. Elvis

 

[Disneylover99]

We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control

 

[AppleDumpling]

'Scuse me while I kiss the sky!

 

[DisneyDad1960]

I can see paradise by the dashboard light.

 

[NYCgrrl]

"....I love you for who you are - not the one you feel you need to be...."

 

[NYCgrrl]

Why are these quotes for stuff 20-30 years ago? Are any of them still living the dream?

Yes and because hey, hey, my, my, rock and roll, will never die

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
Twenty four before my love and I'll be there

Woo hoo!
Move yourself, you always live your life never thinking of the future.
Complete with yuppies running the streets.

Ha, I’d like to say you’re right but I’m a good 12+ years older than you. Poison is a really bad example but guys like Tesla? Or The Red Hot Chili Peppers? They kept/keep it real. The first time I saw Tesla they didn’t have an opening act, hell the lights didn’t even go down. They just hit the stage and blew the place up. I grew up on some great music and I actually lean more towards my Dad’s stuff. More often than not you’ll find me listening to Elton John, The Eagles, The Steve Miller Band, Van Morrison to name a few.

And to stay on topic:
“I’m a joker, I’m a smoker, I’m a midnight toker...”

How many remember Elton John's entrée to Nashville?
"...Burn down the mission if we're going to stay alive.."

*Raises Hand* I was listening to Tumbleweed Connection just the other day.

A great piece of work for Elton. Where To Now St. Peter?

Elton John was God in my house growing up. We had a dog named EJ and a cat named Mellow (“ooh, you make me mellow”) I’m not a huge fan of his later pop stuff but albums like Tumbleweed Connection and Madman Across the Water are just pure genius to me. Been listening to them for decades and still pick up on things I never did before.

Stepped in to a church, I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees, and I pretend to pray
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.......

 

[Gumbo4x4]

You need cooling
Baby I'm not fooling
I'm gonna send ya
Back to schooling

 

[wonder whisper]

If I was in L.A.......

California Dreaming is classic, but more pop than rock.

 

[Gumbo4x4]

World pollution, there's no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich or poor
Them and us, stop the war

 

[Gumbo4x4]

I'm tired of playing all your foolish games
I'm tired of all of your lies making me insane
I don't ask for much, the truth'll do just fine
won't' you lay it on the line

 

[wonder whisper]

This one is somewhat obscure, but to me is one of the best rock anthems ever written:

The Call - Let The Day Begin

 

[counselormom]

Cause I don't wanna burn in paradise....

 

[Disneylover99]

Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
And strap your hands cross my engine
