1975 (Joey Ramone)
The Raving Knaves
1975 (Joey Ramone), from our CD, “Atom Age”
Nineteen seventy-five,
Rock and roll is dead, Frampton’s alive,
Lame tunes north and south,
The radio is dying with a tube in its mouth
Your one-four-five and a minor six
Made it fun and we got our fix
Nineteen seventy-seven,
Everybody’s sick of “Stairway to Heaven”
Piling up on the floor
Sheena and Ramona meet the girl nextdoor
Long-legged kid in ripped up jeans
Rhymin’ vindaloo with refried beans
You never let me down
Joey Joey
You never let me down
Joey Joey
You never let me down
Joey Joey
You never let me down
Joey Joey
Nineteen seventy-nine
Temperature’s rising and I’m feeling fine
House party record skips
Everybody in the room is shaking their hips
White light exploding in my face
Russian rocket into space
You never let me down
Joey Joey
You never let me down
Joey Joey
You never let me down
Joey Joey
You never let me down

This started out as an instrumental in 1980 for Dave’s band The Boss Guitars. The Raving Knaves gave it a make-over with lyrics.
