i wish i was a punk rocker - Sandi Thom

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine 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


Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine 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 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
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 seventy-seven and sixty-nine 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 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 still had long hair and dirt across their face


Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine 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
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

aku mengenali penyanyi ni terlambat, padahal lagu ni boleh katakan kerap juga aku dengar melalui radio. Bila aku search youtube nama "Sandie Thom", nampak pulak tajuk yang agak catchy ni, so aku pun click dan dengar macamana lagunya, lorh.., lagu ni ke? Huhu.., lagu kenal tapi penyanyi tak kenal.., macamana ni?
