I want to tell you a Once upon a There were five guys in and out of Newcastle, Playing and Blues They had to lose didn't need that tin-pan hassle Over the Reeperbahn the beat was born the heart of the nation Sign of the A new search in of a new rock generation
From day one to come I'd do it all I to be an animal (he used to be an animal) I to be an animal (he used to be an animal) I used to be an (whoa, oh) But I'm all now All right now,
Twenty years ago we children of war But we danced to the Bo Diddley There rockers and mods, We didn't take it too We had blue suede on our feet A revolution in France and James dance A new world our way We'd talk talk in the streets of New York And looked back to this day
From day one to the sun do it all again I used to be an animal (he to be an animal) I to be an animal (he used to be an animal) I to be an animal (whoa, oh) But I'm all now All right, all right, all Yeah, yeah, all right, whoa
We flippin' and trippin' And rockin' and And havin' a ball For the price of a There was no time to think the morality of it all There was freaks and and love-ins and has-beens Whisky-a-gogos and all night A psychedelic in slow motion, Dr bomb
day one to the risin' sun I'll do it all (whoa, oh, oh) I used to be an (he used to be an animal) I used to be an (he used to be an animal) I to be an animal (whoa, oh) But I'm all now All right, all right, Yeah, yeah, All right, all right, I'm all now...
