Rock & Roll

This song popped into my life while I was watching The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants 2. Oh yes, I do in fact like those two movies very much. They're sweet and sensitive and just a little bit original. But back to the song. It's very groovy. I love singing along to it. It feels good to form the words with my mouth, moving my lips fast, using my voice. Well. Enough from me, I think.

he's been
waiting around for the weekend
figuring which club to sneak in
fancy drinks and fifty dollar cover charge
lately it's been a big hassle
Heineken and New Castle
to make sure he's fitting in and living large

disregard the lies that he will tell
and what he's probably like, 'cause
it's not hard, his charm is gonna get him through the night

'cause if he wanna rock, he rocks
if he wanna roll, he rolls
he can roll with the punches
as long as he feels like he's in control
and if he wanna stay, he stays
if he wanna go, he goes
he doesn't care how he gets there
as long as he gets somewhere he knows

see her
heavy make up and cut t shirt
every girl out wants to be her
but they look the same already, why adjust?
reading the magazine secrets
forgetting the tropical regrets
'cause if she comes home all alone, the night's a bust
it's a must, the swivel in her hips
and the look she gives, it's
all her trust, if only in the morning
she knew where she lived

'cause if she wanna rock, she rocks
if she wanna roll, she rolls
she can roll with the punches
as long as she feels like he's in control
and if she wanna stay, she stays
if she wanna go, she goes
she doesn't care how she gets there
as long as she gets somewhere she knows

and in a wink they're on the brink
from drink to drink and at the bar
with cash to blow, from shot to shot
it's getting hot, advance the plot
to see how how far it's gonna go
all depends, so ditch the friends
and grab a cap, another chance
for cheap romance
doesn't count 'cause the room is spinning
nothing to lose, tonight they both are winning
and they fall in love as they fall in bed

'cause if they wanna rock, they rock
if they wanna roll, they roll
they can roll with the punches
as long as they feel like they're in control
and if they wanna stay, they stay
if they wanna go, they go
they don't care how they get there
as long as they get somewhere they know
