The Sounds – Rock & Roll

General Commenti love this song so much.
her voice sounds really calm and sad in this one.
especially in the 'soon you can call the police, i'm sorry for my manners.....'

i'm not sure about any of you, but i think this song just has to do with personal wars of choosing what's good and bad for you, and in this song's case it has to do with alcohol, drugs, and sex.

and in this song, 'i gave my heart to rock n roll' means really that she completely gave herself away not knowing that the hurt she's experiencing is the consequence.

so basically, this song is just about knowing that you've fucked up a lot.

General CommentI think this song is just about them expressing her love for Rock n Roll. But if looked carefully, many parts of the song can also function as a metaphor for drugs, alcohol and sex. And since Rock n Roll is kinda synonymous to sex, drugs and alcohol, it really is up to you on which you'd like to interpret it as.

Or, alternatively you can also consider it as Rock n Roll = Sex, drugs, alcohol, the music rock n roll. In other words, her meaning of rock n roll encompasses all these aspects.

Just my 2c.

General Comment"Jump up bubble up, what's in store" is a lyric from the song Love is the Drug by Roxy.
I was listening to the radio and the Roxy song came on and I nearly had a conniption trying to figure out what song it was that I had heard that lyric in before.

General Commentthe sounds are awesome. one of my favorites. i guess its talking about how rock and roll is so much better than love. i dont think these lyrics are right though, heres what i think:

got a nasty habit called rock and roll...
seems like love no longer can turn me on...
jump up bubble up, whats in store... (roxy)
and so you can call the police, im sorry bout my manners, but you see...

well thats all i have. byyyyyyy the way. the sounds rock.

General CommentOne, two, three, four no I want more
and five, six, seven it`s not ok
how come you taste so good
this time I`m really hooked
It`s half past ten, its getting late
But the night is young and I can`t wait
You know I like it loud
You should know me by now

Something sweet or something strong
Seems like love no longer can turn me on
Like boy need girl and girl need boy
got a nasty habit called rock n roll

But you don`t know what it`s like
I´ve done things you've only dreamed about
More than once or twice, it keeps me up at night
Jump up, bubble up, what´s in store
Bryan looked for love, but I want more
I find another beat, there`s no time for sleep

Something sweet and something strong
Seems like love no longer can`t turn me on
Like the girls in suits and those pretty boys
I gave my heart to rock n roll

So you can call the police
I`m sorry but my manners, but you see
I'm a bit drunk as you can see
I bet you would like to undress me

Something sweet and something strong
Seems like love no longer can`t turn me on
Like boy need girl and girl need boy
Got a nasty habit called rock n roll

Something sweet and something strong
Seems like love no longer can`t turn me on
Like boy need girl and girl need boy
Got a nasty habit called rock n roll

these are the lyrics i found somewhere else and i think theyre right

General CommentThis song is really pretty.
I think it's saying that music or rock and roll is better than love and all of it's confusion.
