Bagatelle - Rock N Roll Fantasy lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, you write all your books about old rock and roll The 50s, the 60s, the boogie, the soul You put it on record, and sometimes you lie But the artists, they lived, and they loved, and they died... [Verse 2] So I bought a guitar, and I learned me some tunes I wrote me some songs, but they fell into ruins And the music kept coming, I know how we tried Still, the artists, they lived, and the loved, and they died... [Chorus] But everybody's got a rock and roll fantasy And baby I'll have mine I've seen you play your guitars and pianos And shaking your heads to the time Imaginary crowds in Madison Square front-row And I know you'll be trying But everybody's got a rock and roll fantasy And baby, I'll have mine! [Verse 3] Well, the people, they listened, if just for a while They gave us an inch, so we took us a mile If we were up, they'd put us down, if we were down, they'd smile Still, the artists, they lived, and they loved, and they died... [Chorus] But everybody's got a rock and roll fantasy And baby I'll have mine I've seen you play your guitars and pianos And shaking your heads to the time Imaginary crowds in Madison Square front-row And I know you'll be trying But everybody's got a rock and roll fantasy And baby, I'll have mine! [Instrumental] [Verse 4] Half past four in the morning, at the end of the line We were in a motel and we were drinking some wine Someone played our old record, he was taking a ride Still, the artists, they lived, and they loved, and they died... [Chorus] But everybody's got a rock and roll fantasy And baby I'll have mine I've seen you play your guitars and pianos And shaking your heads to the time Imaginary crowds in Madison Square front-rows And I know you'll be trying But everybody's got a rock and roll fantasy And baby, I'll have mine! [Outro] Rock and roll fantasy!
