    Anyone hear of it? My friend said it reminded him of myself, and I wanted to share the love.

    "Sandi Thom- I wish I was a Punk Rocker"

    here are the lyrics:

    Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
    In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air
    I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
    Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

    When the head of state didn't play guitar
    Not everybody drove a car
    When music really mattered and when radio was king
    When accountants didn't have control
    And the media couldn't buy your soul
    And computers were still scary and we didn't know everything

    Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
    In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air
    I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
    Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

    When pop stars still remained a myth
    And ignorance could still be bliss
    And when god saved the queen she turned a whiter shade of pale
    My mom and dad were in their teens
    And anarchy was still a dream
    And the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail

    Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
    In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air
    I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
    Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

    When record shops were still on top
    And vinyl was all that they stocked
    And the super info highway was still drifting out in space
    Kids were wearing hand me downs
    And playing games meant kick arounds
    And footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face

    Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
    In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air
    I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
    Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
    I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
    Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

    Haha well I'm still discovering music from 40 years ago... So I suppose 4 years isn't so bad. ;)

    By the way, I do love that song. :D

    Even though its "girly" I agree it's good! That girl can definitely sing... and the lyrics are super nice. Good taste!
