Transposer:

Rock’N’Roll Survival Blues:The Rubettes. Album - Wear It’s At - #32 Germany #42 Netherlands on POLYDOR Records in 1974. INTRO: #1. I was such a pleasant child til rock and roll. (rock and roll) Took away my peace of mind and my self control. (self control) Soon I was so sure that I was God’s great gift to a generation. I was surely bound to be a star. #2. I bought myself a Fender and a Super Twin. (Super Twin) Toughened up my vocal chords with Gordon’s Gin. (Gordon’s gin) Played around for months and never made the news. Soon I had the rock and roll survival blues. #3. I drove around from gig to gig in a rusty van. (rusty van) Dreaming of a limousine and a livery man. (livery man) I simply couldn’t understand why I was still the local standby. When I was heaven made to be a star. #4. The years went by and still I’m on the same old scene. (same old scene) Never getting the publicity machine. (city machine) Now I knew what they meant about paying your dues. Cause I had the rock and roll survival blues. INTERLUDE: #5. The years went by the bands went by and I played on. (I played on) I could not understand where I was going wrong. So I split from the music city went to school in a northern backroom just sat down and learned myself the blues. #6. Then I made a record and now here I am. (here I am) I don’t know how it happened but who gives a damn. (gives a damn) I only know I love you now you got the news. I ain’t no rock and roll revival... OUTRO: rock and roll revival.. rock and roll sur-vival......blues. .. ... A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.

Cette chanson raconte l’histoire d’un jeune homme plein d’ambition qui se laisse emporter par le monde du rock and roll, pensant devenir une star. Au départ, il est plein de rêves et d’enthousiasme, mais il se rend vite compte que la réalité est bien plus difficile. Après avoir investi dans sa passion avec une guitare et de nombreux concerts sans succès, il réalise qu'il doit affronter des épreuves pour se faire un nom. Malgré des années de travail, il reste coincé dans sa ville natale, n’arrivant pas à percer. La chanson évoque finalement une quête d’identité, une recherche de sens à travers la musique, et même une forme de résilience face aux déceptions du monde musical, où la lumière et la gloire ne sont pas toujours au rendez-vous. C’est un portrait de la persévérance et des luttes intérieures de ceux qui poursuivent leur passion.
