So called Mr Rock and Roll He's dancing on his own again Talking on his phone again To someone who tells him that his balance is low He's got no where 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 ever seemed to care Now she wouldn't dare It’s so rock and 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 and 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 could 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"
