"it's a middle-aged rampage now"




Kind of amazed nobody in the last almost three years since Retromania came about pointed this tune out to me..

From 2006, around the same time as my "A Past Gone Mad" posts at Blissblog, so me and Haines must have been picking up on the same vibes....

The lyrics to "The Heritage Rock Revolution":

Heritage rock, heritage rock
Can't get enough of heritage rock

It's been twenty-five years since you had an original thought in your head
I don't want to know about the records you own or all the books that you've read
We got a message straight from the top
From the guys in heritage rock
They're going to recognize their age
It's a middle-aged rampage now

I love rock & roll
I hope it never dies
Put it in a time-capsule, and bury it alive

Cryogenically frozen, an unfinished masterpiece,
He's got his own meltdown
He's a bona-fide legend, a credit to his rest-home
Who let him out
He's going to play all the hits that we knew
All of the new album, too
It's good to have something in these times to look forward to

I love rock & roll
I hope it never dies
Wrap it up in cotton wool, and bury it alive

Heritage rock, heritage rock
Can't get enough of heritage rock

Crosby, Stills, & Nash, the legacy of The Clash
I can't take much more
Northern soul and Stax, the evolution of rap
Will have arrived fully-formed
But mutated along the way
Like a bubonic plague
Now if all of the world is a stage
God help us if there's a war

I love rock & roll
I hope it never dies
Put it in a chocolate box, and bury it alive.
