My Guitar Wishbone Ash

When I was just a boy at school
The kids all said that I was cool
Even said I could go far, just me and my guitar
I combed my hair in a big El quiff
Lots of grease to make it stiff
My pointed toes and my boot-lace tie -
I'm going to catch your eye
Oh, oh, rock and roll -
I can't stop, it's got a hold
Hey, hey, what I say?
Ain't nobody gonna take it away

I met a girl and she could sing -
She could do most anything
When I took her in my car, she just wanted my guitar
So I put my foot hard down
Left her standing in that old town
Ain't nobody going to come between
Me and my machine

Woah, oh, rock and roll -
I can't stop, it's got a hold
Hey, hey, what I say?
Ain't nobody gonna take it away

Then one day I took a ride
Into the city and the bright lights
I soon found out that I was on my own
Just picking at the bone
Just one thing for me to do -
I had to make it up and anew
So I picked up my faithful friend
And I played it to the end
