I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker Lyrics

Send "I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker" Ringtone to your Cell

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 to a world that doesnt care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

When the head of state didnt play guitar,
Not everybody drove a car,
When music really mattered and radio was king,
When accountants didnt have control
And the media couldnt buy your soul
And computers were still scary and we didnt know everything

Chorus

When pop stars 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

Chorus

When record shops was 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

Chorus

I was born too late to a world that doesnt care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

right this song is great, punk rockers didnt have flowers in thier hair, if you listen to the start of the song, i quote "in 77 and 69" 77=punk rockers and 69=hippys god sake its a mixture people should comment before listening,

u ppl need 2 get over the political correctness, it is ppl like u who ruin society with all the red tape crap, just enjoy it 4 what it is, a f***in awesome song!!

I agree with hanelline, this song isn't very good. Anyway, punk rockers didn't wear flowers in their hair - they dyed it weird colors or shaved it off. I don't think I EVER saw a punk rocker with flowers in her hair - unless, of course, you count this girl I saw in London in 1981: she had a rose tattoo on her scalp, barely visible beneath her bright purple crewcut!

I hope the parody version gets posted here ;-)

Love this song. It's nice to hear someone who doesn't feel the need to saturate the song with musical instruments. Also, as someone else already said, it's very easy to sing along with!! =)

She has such a great voice… her vibratto is natural, not forced like many other artists you hear. It just works. I love it!

"That time wasnt as much as a utopia as she makes out, there was war, in-equality, political unrest and an unstable society."

As opposed, of course, to now. Now we have our Iraq CONFLICT and equality for all straight rich Christian white men and bloggers who just love the way things are going.

Honestly.

She makes a point. Well. She does not say then is perfect. But now isn't, either, and isn't there some romance to the positive sides of a past you simply can't have?

That's what I get from this song, anyway. *shrugs*

get over the whole flowers in the hair part...it's like a metaphor/analogy or whatever....she's prolly referring to the fact that the two most politically and socially aware genres of music were both folk and punk, hence the "69 and '77 reference and the flowers in the punk rockers hair....get past the whole punk/flower thingy and listen to the actual song...she's got a friggin point and she makes it well
hanneline 16/07/2006 21:41:34
this song isn't great. we are creating a parody version...

and anyway, punk rockers didnt wear flowers in thier hair, they were based on rebelling.
That time wasnt as much as a utopia as she makes out, there was war, in-equality, political unrest and an unstable society. And anyway, society has probably improved since then, the life you lead determines how you live rather than the era. And if she wanted to be a punk rocker, surely she should be writing punk rock songs rather than this pop sell out rubbish. Its not as if there is much musical creativity, she can sing, but it seems too easy for her, as if she hasnt really put any effort in. She should be singing "i wish i was a hippy, hiding away from society, so i dont have to think about real issues in life, with flowers in my hair"

I wish I were a pastry chef with flour in my hair. adios. hanneline.

Punky_llama 16/06/2006 22:34:09
This is a really good song but...
Punk rockers never wore flowers in they're hair, half of them hardly had hair.
And punk wasnt really alive until the 80's.

Still, Catchy song.
