Ratcliff Lyrics
A doctor and her lover settled in a Ratcliff home
Taking day trips to Bolinas, they can barely see the road
She says, "My meeting's cancelled, in the morning we'll stay
So baby, please wait"
Let me give you a hug until this easing's light touch your eyes
Or at least until the song finishes and we still try to sing along
Rock and roll is here to stay
A boy who sings about how he's in a squeeze
Ends up with oranges and an unused degree
She wears those earrings almost every day
Trapeze shapes
Everything seems so simple, you can't tell if it's basically fake
Scenes from uptake
Cars on the edge passing him off to hell
Let me give you a hug until this easing's light touch your eyes
Or at least until the song finishes and we still try to sing along
Rock and roll is here to stay
Taking day trips to Bolinas, they can barely see the road
She says, "My meeting's cancelled, in the morning we'll stay
So baby, please wait"
Or at least until the song finishes and we still try to sing along
Rock and roll is here to stay
Ends up with oranges and an unused degree
She wears those earrings almost every day
Trapeze shapes
Everything seems so simple, you can't tell if it's basically fake
Scenes from uptake
Cars on the edge passing him off to hell
Or at least until the song finishes and we still try to sing along
Rock and roll is here to stay

I think this may be about a female doctor whose job is very draining, but her lover is one of the things that keeps her going. Finally going on vacation and getting away from the world.
I'm not sure what Chaz means by "Rock and roll is here to stay", but I definitely think that it is a reference to Big Star's Thirteen which is a lyric from that song. Chaz has mentioned in the past that he likes Big Star and draws some inspiration from them.
