I wish I was a punk rocker - Sandi Thom

[Chorus]
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 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

[Chorus]

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
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

[Chorus]

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 around
And footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face

[Chorus]

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

Oh dear lord people.. It is a song. It is catchy and it is good. Why must you people always over analyse things and ruin it for those who appreciate good music when they hear it..?? You either get it or you dont. either way it is, and has been, a good tune :-)

Ignorance is bliss. Its said that the happiest people on earth are those with the simplest lives.

She likes the idea of living in the 60s/70s where people weren't as busy or as obsessed with technology as we all are now.
