Freddie Mercury
Modern Times Rock ‘n’ Roll (Live at the Rainbow, London, 31st March 1974)
Yeah
Got to make do with a worn out rock & roll scene
The old bop is getting tired
Don't you know
Well you know what I mean?
Fifty-eight that was great
But it's over now, that's all
Something harder's coming up
Gonna knock a hole in the wall
Gonna grab you, hit you hard
Make you feel ten feet tall ...
Well I hope that a brand new baby's gonna come along soon
And I know it could happen
Any old rainy afternoon
With the jukebox blowing
Jukebox blowing no fuse
And the temperature's like
Just like a Sunday-school cruise
And you know everybody in this world could use
Modern times - rock 'n' roll
Modern times - rock 'n' roll, yeah
Ooh
Get your high heeled guitar styled boots
And groovy clothes
Get a hairpiece on your chest
A ring through your nose
Find a nice little man
Who's gonna make you a big, big star
Stars in your eyes, ants in your pants
You gotta go far
And you know everybody
In this bum sucking world should go far
Rock 'n' roll
Rock 'n' roll
Rock 'n' roll
(Rock 'n' roll)
You move it the left, you move it the right
(Rock 'n' roll)
Groovin' and shakin' all of the night
(Rock 'n') roll
Rock 'n' roll, ow
Rock 'n' roll
Rock 'n' roll
Rock 'n' roll
Freddie: Thank you
Roger: One more? Oh
