Bilingual
The old rocker wore his hair too long
Wore his trouser cuffs too tight
Unfashionable to the end
Dragged his head to light
And catshead belt buckle yesterday's dream
The transport camp prophet of doom
Rigging no change in his double-sewn seams
In his post-war baby bloom
Now he's too old to rock and roll
And he's too young to die
Yes, he was too old to rock and roll
And he was too young to die
So the old rocker gets on his bike
To make a ton before he takes his leave
Up on the A1 by Scotts Corner
Just like it used to be
And as he flies, tears in his eyes
His wind-whipped words echo the vinyl tape
And he hits a truck going round a hundred and twenty
With no room left to brake
And he was too old to rock and roll
And he was too young to die
Yes, he was too old to rock and roll
And he was too young to die
No, you're never too old to rock and roll
Never too young to die
No, you're never too old to rock and roll
Never too young to die
But he was too young to die
