You'll Never Find a Punk Rocker
(To the tune of 'I wish I was a Punk Rocker' by Sandi Thom)

Oh you'll never find a punk rocker with flowers in their hair
'77 and '69, revolution was just nowhere
You're so wrong mate - I can tell you were never there
'cause you'll never find a punk rocker with flowers in their hair

In '69 - free love was then
But it was mainly for the men
And flower power had begun to slowly fade away
Two people spent a week in bed
For peace - but what happened instead
Was kids returning back from 'Nam, screwed up in every way

Oh you'll never find a punk rocker with flowers in their hair
'77 and '69, revolution was just nowhere
You're so wrong mate - I can tell you were never there
'cause you'll never find a punk rocker with flowers in their hair

And '77 the music changed
With loud guitars and pins and chains
And the kids all called for anarchy - the world to re-arrange
Those punks, the rebels in their youth
Now businessmen in shiny suits
And the Queen's still proudly on the throne - so nothing's really changed

Oh you'll never find a punk rocker with flowers in their hair
'77 and '69, revolution was just nowhere
You're so wrong mate - I can tell you were never there
'cause you'll never find a punk rocker with flowers in their hair

So think about just what I've said
Ignore those dreams stuck in your head
I think that it's important that we set the record straight
Revolution was just a dream
Things weren't as rosy as they seemed
And the changes that had happened - we've just had to sit and wait

Oh you'll never find a punk rocker with flowers in their hair
'77 and '69, revolution was just nowhere
You're so wrong mate - I can tell you were never there
'cause you'll never find a punk rocker with flowers in their hair

You're so wrong mate - I can tell you were never there
'cause you'll never find a punk rocker with flowers in their hair
I hate the 'I wish I was a Punk Rocker' song - it tells so many untruths - how many punk rockers do you know
with flowers in their hair ? wasn't 77 and 69 wonderful ? grr.. it really winds me up (almost as much as 'My Humps' !)
So it's time to set the record straight....
