I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker - Sandi Thom

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

When the head of state didn't play guitar
Not everybody drove a car
When music really mattered and when radio was king
When accountants didn't have control
And the media couldn't buy your soul
And computers were still scary and we didn't know everything

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

When pop stars still remained a myth
And ignorance could still be bliss
And when god saved the queen she turned a whiter shade of pale
My mom and dad were in their teens
And anarchy was still a dream
And the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

When record shops were still on top
And vinyl was all that they stocked
And the super info highway was still drifting out in space
Kids were wearing hand me downs
And playing games meant kick arounds
And footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

Oh, kiež by som bola punk rocker s kvetmi vo vlasoch
V sedemdesiatom siedmom a šesťdesiatom deviatom revolúcia bola vo vzduchu
Narodil som sa príliš neskoro, do sveta, ktorý sa nestará
Oh, kiež by som bol punk rocker s kvetmi vo vlasoch

Keď sa hlava štátu nehrala na gitaru
Nie každý riadil auto
Keď na hudbe naozaj záležalo, a keď bol rádio bolo kráľom
Keď účtovníci nemali kontrolu
A médií si nemohli kúpiť tvoju dušu
A počítače boli ešte desivé a my sme nevedeli všetko

Oh, kiež by som bola punk rocker s kvetmi vo vlasoch
V sedemdesiatom siedmom a šesťdesiatom deviatom revolúcia bola vo vzduchu
Narodil som sa príliš neskoro, do sveta, ktorý sa nestará
Oh, kiež by som bol punk rocker s kvetmi vo vlasoch

Keď pop hviezdy ešte boli mýtom
A neznalosť mohla byť blaženou
A keď boh chránil kráľovnú a tá mala belší bledý tieň
Moja mama a otec boli mladistvý
A anarchia bola ešte snom
A jediný spôsob, ako zostať v kontakte bol list cez poštu

Oh, kiež by som bola punk rocker s kvetmi vo vlasoch
V sedemdesiatom siedmom a šesťdesiatom deviatom revolúcia bola vo vzduchu
Narodil som sa príliš neskoro, do sveta, ktorý sa nestará
Oh, kiež by som bol punk rocker s kvetmi vo vlasoch

Keď obchody s platňami boli na vrchole
A vinyl bolo jediné čo mali
A super informačná diaľnica bola ešte mimozemská
Od detí sa musela držať ruka preč
A hranie sa znamenalo pohyb
A futbalisti ešte mali dlhé vlasy a špinavú tvár

Oh, kiež by som bola punk rocker s kvetmi vo vlasoch
V sedemdesiatom siedmom a šesťdesiatom deviatom revolúcia bola vo vzduchu
Narodil som sa príliš neskoro, do sveta, ktorý sa nestará
Oh, kiež by som bol punk rocker s kvetmi vo vlasoch
