My a*s is cold.
My axe was cold.
An 'axe' is slang for electric guitar.
My axe was stole.
My axe was cold.
Now it's a bloody long way down rock 'n roll Through the Bradford Cities where we all get colds.
Now it's a mighty long way down rock 'n roll
Through the Bradford Cities and the Orioles.
Now it's a mighty long way down rock 'n roll
Through the breakfast cities and the Oreos
Now it's a mighty long way down rock 'n roll
Through the Bradford Cities and the Oreoles
Now its a mighty long way down Rock and Roll,
Thru the bread first cities and the Aureoles
Now it's a mighty long way down rock 'n roll
Through the Bradford Cities and the Oreoles
Some spaced head rock 'n' rollers
They're all the same.
or
Some dude said, 'Rock n rollers.
They're all the same.'
Some spade said, 'Rock 'n' rollers
You're all the same.'
Through the bad French cities and the Oreo
or
Through the big Ford cities and the R.E.O.
or
Through the big Ford cities and the R.E.O.
Through the Bradford Cities and the Oreoles
All the way from Belfast
All the Way from Memphis
But you're still on the double
But you're still on the dole
But you're still on the toilet
But you're still on the dole
Some spade said rock & rollers, you're all the same.....
I'm not your instrument of fame, I felt so ashamed
Some spade said, "Rock 'n' rollers, you're all the same.
Man that's your instrument." I felt so ashamed.
Through the Bradford Cities and the Oreos
