In The Days Before Rock'n'Roll - Van Morrison

Justin, gentler than a man

I am down on my knees

At the wireless knobs

I am down on my knees

At those wireless knobs

Telefunken, Telefunken

And I’m searching for

Luxembourg, Luxembourg

Athlone, Budapest, AFN

Hilversum, Helvetia

In the days before rock 'n' roll

In the days before rock 'n' roll

In the days before rock 'n' roll

When we let, then we bet

On Lester Piggott when we met

We let the goldfish go

In the days before rock 'n' roll

Fats

Fats did not come in

Without those wireless knobs

Fats did not come in

Without those wireless knobs

Elvis did not come in

Without those wireless knobs

Nor Fats, nor Elvis

Nor Sonny, nor Lightning

Nor Muddy, nor John Lee

In the days before rock 'n' roll

In the days before rock 'n' roll

When we let and we bet

On Lester Piggott, 10 to 1

And we let the goldfish go

Down the stream

Before rock 'n' roll

We went over the wavebands (ssss … sssss)

We’d get Luxembourg

Luxembourg and Athlone

AFM stars of Jazz

Come in, come in, come in, Ray Charles

Come in, the high priest

In the days before rock 'n' roll

In the days before rock 'n' roll

When we let and we bet

On Lester Piggott 10 to 1

And we let the goldfish go

And then, and then, then the Killer came along

The Killer, Killer Jerry Lee Lewis

A Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On

Great Balls of Fire

Little Richard

Justin, gentler than a man

Justin, Justin, where is Justin now?

What’s Justin doing now?

Just where is Justin now?
