So-called Mr Rock & Roll,
Is dancing on his own again,
Talking on his phone again,
To someone who tells him that his balance is low
He's got nowhere to go, he's on his own again

Rock Chick of the century,
Is acting like she used to be,
Dancing like there's no-one there
Before she never seemed to care,
Now she wouldn't dare
It's so Rock & Roll to be alone

And they'll meet one day far away,
And say, 'I wish I was something more'
And they'll meet one day far away,
And say, 'I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before'

Mrs Black & White she's never seen a shade of grey,
Always something on her mind,
Every single day
But now she's lost her way,
And where does she go from here?

Mr Multicultural sees all that one can see,
He's living proof of someone very different to me
But now he wants to be free,
Free so he can see

And they'll meet one day far away,
And say, 'I wish I was something more'
And they'll meet one day far away,
And say, 'I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before'

He'll say, 'I wish I knew you
I wish I met you when time was still on my side'
She'll say, 'I wish I knew you
I wish I loved you before I was his bride'

And so they must depart,
Two many more broken hearts
But I've seen that all before,
In TV, books, and film and more
And there's a happy ending,
Every single day

And they'll meet one day far away,
And say, 'I wish I was something more'
And they'll meet one day far away
And say, 'I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before
