I don't need no I tunes
Songs are in my head
don't require an I pad
got my records instead
Music has always been for me
The memory that always sets me free
45s were always bought
Bands and gigs forever sort
I am nothing like the youth today
Music downloads the only way
They know nothing of real rock n roll
And never will if truth be told
If they were lucky enough to have had
A rebel mum or Hippie Grandad
Then they will know that Music can
Take you to a place a Magic land
Music has always been for me
The memory that sets me free
45s were always bought
Bands and gigs forever sort
Armed with singles and L.Ps
A party atmosphere the place to be
Showing off your latest songs
Asking The D.J to put them on
Record players would spin that disc
Turn up the V as we insist
The louder you play your Rock n Roll
Will blow your mind and soothe your soul
Music has always been for me
The memory that sets me free
45s were always bought
Bands and gigs forever sort
Every week every penny that I earned
didn't get saved as always burned
In the local Sounds and record store
Ran out of dough but wanted more
Our record collections were part of us
Not just loved but with pure lust
For what we heard on the radio
The Top Forty our favorite show
Music has always been for me
The memory that sets me free
45s were always bought
Bands and gigs forever sort
The count down from 40 to 1
Was recorded on tape and such great fun
Next Sunday yeah the same again
Fluff Freeman greets not arf my friend
I notice a difference with kids today
They hate intro's so just play
Nothing with craft or build up
The attention span has had enough
I would hate to be young and miss out today
I'm 70 now and will always say
I love a 3 minute song or long plays
The sounds that Rocked my yesterday
Rocking out to my yesterdays
The Beatles The Stones and Purple Haze
Rocking out to the tracks of My years
The Juke Box the best with a cool beer
I don't need no I tunes
Songs are in my head
don't require an I pad
got my records instead
