a real rock 'n' roller - beans on toast lyrics

[verse 1]
lorraine was born in the 1940s
grew up in a pub in nottingham
i’d like to think that it goes without saying
that things were pretty different back then
a chatterbox with a glint in her eye
learned how to pull a pint and socialise
learned how to run, she learned how to sew
she had a future in rock and roll
she first heard it from the jaybirds band
learned how to dance and how to hold a man
and yeah, she had a thing for the guitarist
but more than anything, she was in love with the music

[chorus]
and that music took her everywhеre, from the pally on a friday night
she’d nеver heard anything like it, so she followed the light
she was a lover, she was a fighter, a seamstress and a stoner
but more, much more than that, she was a real rock and roller

[verse 2]
turns out this fella, he could really play
and so the two of ’em just flew away
landed at the marquee on wardour street
started playing music and going to gigs
a chatterbox with an eye for style
moving and shaking and moving all around
she set the scene for the songs to grow
the soundtrack of her life was about to explode
’cause everywhere he played, the crowd went wild
she had the best seat in the house
and she’d do anything for that guitarist
she was in love with the music
[chorus]
and that music took her everywhere, from the pally on a friday night
to swinging 60s london, getting high, stage fright
his solos would transport her and everybody felt it too
she watched on as the crowds just grew and grew

[verse 3]
the next stop was san francisco
revolution was in the air
it was the center of the universe to anyone and everyone who happened to be there
a chatterbox with a flower in her hat
an ear for the music, a drape for the lamp
a really great record player and a really great record that she’s gonna play ya
selling out shows at the fillmore
in the beat of a drum, they were on a world tour
and when the road took its toll, she was there for that guitarist
still in love with the music

[chorus]
and that music took her everywhere, from the pally on a friday night
to dancin’ on stage at woodstock, and the dizzyin’ ashbury heights
she met jimmy, she met janice, she got the keys to the palace
and she called it the palace of rock and roll
woo

[verse 4]
turns out the palace was a place to hang
when they’d come home from tour, the tour would come to them
in the beginning, that worked out fine
till some dude started racking up lines
and it was subtle, but something had changed
and for the first time in her life, she had nothing to say
by this time, she’d fallen for the guitarist
and she followed the music
[chorus]
and that music took her everywhere, from the pally on a friday night
to in bed with a beatle, still followin’ that light
the rolling stones got busted, and she somehow took the fall
but she defended herself and walked out of the court
she was a lover, she was a fighter
she left a lasting effect on the culture
but more, much more than that
she was a real rock and roller
