What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing?
"Can't you tell that your tie's too wide?"
Maybe I should buy some old tab collars?
"Welcome back to the age of jive
Where have you been hidin' out lately, honey?
You can't dress trashy till you spend a lot of money."

[Chorus 1]
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound
Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me

Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways
It's still rock and roll to me

Will never understand why radio will only play about 3 of his songs (if any), he has such a wonderful and deep catalog.
If you ever get a chance to see him in concert (he tours a lot) he's amazing. He has such a wealth of great songs he will do a 20-city tour and do a different set at each place.

Almost Blue and Good Year for the Roses are my favorites. The guy can do anything.

Similar to Warren Zevon - the stations only play Werewolves of London.
