[00:00.14]Rock And Roll (I Gave You The Best Years Of My Life) - Gary Glitter
[00:12.08]I can still remember when I bought my first guitar
[00:16.57]Remember just how good the feeling was
[00:19.30]Put it proudly in the car
[00:22.05]And my family listened fifty times
[00:24.72]To my two song repertoire
[00:28.86]And I told my mum her only son
[00:31.52]Was gonna be a star
[00:36.17]Bought all the Beatles records
[00:38.74]Sounded just like Paul
[00:41.55]Bought all the old Chuck Berry's 78's and all
[00:46.41]And I lay by my record player
[00:48.97]Playin' every note they played
[00:53.50]And I watched them all on TV
[00:56.08]Makin' every move they made
[01:00.97]Rock and roll
[01:01.75]I gave you all the best years of my life
[01:05.69]All the dreamy sunny Sundays
[01:08.40]All the magic moonlit nights
[01:10.62]I was so busy on the road writin' love songs to you
[01:15.82]While you were changin' your direction and never knew
[01:23.13]That I was always just one step behind you
[01:33.18]71 in Soho when I saw Suzanne
[01:37.57]I was trying to go it solo
[01:40.60]With someone else's band
[01:44.18]She came up to me late one night
[01:46.41]And I took her by the hand
[01:50.43]I told her all my troubles
[01:52.54]And she seemed to understand
[01:55.55]And she followed me to London
[01:58.35]Through a hundred hotel rooms
[02:01.14]To a hundred record companies who didn't like my tunes
[02:06.55]She followed me when finally
[02:09.20]I sold my old guitar
[02:13.56]She tried to help me understand I'd never be a star
[02:32.84]Rock and roll
[02:33.67]I gave you all the best years of my life
[02:37.58]All the dreamy sunny Sundays
[02:40.35]All the magic moonlit nights
[02:42.35]I was so busy on the road writin' love songs to you
[02:47.42]While you were changin' your direction and never knew
[02:54.70]That I was always just one step behind you
