Sandi Thom - I wish I was a punk rocker (Official music video + Lyrics)

This is the great Sandi Thom with the awesome song I wish I was a punk rocker

LYRIKS:

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair,
In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air,
I was born too late to 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 77 and 69 revolution was in the air,
I was born too late to a world that doesn't care,
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair.

When popstars still remained a myth,
And ignorance could still be bliss,
And when God Save the Queen she turned a whiter shade of pale,
When 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 77 and 69 revolution was in the air,
I was born too late to 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 who had long hair and dirt across their face.

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair,
In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air,
I was born too late to a world that doesn't care,
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair.

I was born too late to a world that doesn't care,
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair.

pyschoaiko666 - THANKYOU

[psychoaiko666]

@Weirdlittleboys no wait, punk is about having the biggest mohawk and the most spikes on yer jacket! just kiddin, although i do have a shit load of spikes on my old jacket . but it's not about that, it is trying to find yer own way, and if by living the way you want to, you end up going against the mainstream society and break a couple of laws then so be it.

ok, here it is, are you ready? punk is not giving a shit and caring at the same time.

[psychoaiko666]

@Weirdlittleboys still rambling on. or i could say something like i have blue eyes, blond hair, athletic build, covered wih tatoos and a small... eh let's get back to beeing serious. punk means conscious objector and/or bum. basicly a punk is a loud and agressive hippy. hippy? hippie? how the fuck do you spell that? so yeah, i am a somewhat good looking, vegan, trash stealing, hippy, punk, trainwreck in an abandoned home... why am i even doing this? any noninsulting ideas?

[psychoaiko666]

@Weirdlittleboys beeing punk means beeing able to use yer brain and seeing the lies through all the glitter and glamour, to be against the mistreatment of the weak (weather animal or human) and speaking out against the daily crimes of the rich and powerfull. and since a better world starts with yerself, beeing vegan is very punk. and i didn't descibe myself, if were to do that i'd have to say something like: compared to most people my life is a trainwreck and i'm fine with that.

[Weirdlittleboys]

@psychoaiko666 Cause Vegan is oh so punk, I don't need to describe myself, I didn't claim to be anything i'm not. :)

[psychoaiko666]

@Weirdlittleboys wow there you go again calling me a fake, and a little boy. you've clearly advanced in yer insuls, i am impressed. and the me conforming thing, for beeing on the internet. ha, you don't know a thing about me! well, let'do a quick summary: i live in a squat, eat vegan, accasionally go dumpster diving and some stuff i'd better not admit to cuz the police might be reading this to, but it relates to me beeing vegan.

your turn.

btw. forgive my spelling, i'm dutch

[kayteepotatiiee]

i wish i was too. but atleast she was born in like the 80's i didnt even get that

[Weirdlittleboys]

@psychoaiko666 She doesn't literally mean she wants to be a punk with a flower in her hair, read into the lyrics little boy... And you're on the internet, conforming to the masses, that's hardly punk.. You sir, are a fake.

[psychoaiko666]

@Weirdlittleboys how do know? i was just sauing that she doesn't know a thing about punx. i'd think judging from yer comments that yer a troll with crush, but how would or could i know. i'll admit that i absolutly hated this song the minute i heard it on the radio, it's just the combination of the lyrics and the music that pissed me of. and for me beeing a fake, well that's yer assumption, punk isn't something you become you either are or yer not.
