Rock and Roll suicide Lyrics

Rock and Roll Suicide

Ricky got AIDS, he played the guitar and wrote a song
One dodgy needle and he was full blown
He was a friend of mine, he had a china face
The last thing he sang to me still echo's in this place

Rock and Roll suicide
Rock and Roll dudes
Trade my Strat, it's the same old tunes
Rock and Roll suicide
Old rock and roll news
God only knows it's a fine way to play the blues

Hey Ricky was cool, yeah cooler than you think
But he got strung out in his world of smack and drink
Felt crucified, hung out to dry
Couldn't turn around so he wrote this lullaby

Rock and Roll suicide
Rock and Roll dudes
Trade my Strat, it's the same old tunes
Rock and Roll suicide
Old rock and roll news
God only knows it's a fine way to play the blues

Rock and Roll suicide
Hey you Rock and Roll dudes
Trade my Strat, it's the same old tunes
Rock and Roll suicide
Old rock and roll news
God only knows it's a fine way to play the blues

Now suicide is a personal thing
And though Ricky's gone you can still hear him sing and play
Of crazy days, a child who lost his way
Sing it loud, sing it loud

Rock and Roll suicide
Hey you Rock and Roll dudes
Trade my Strat, it's the same old tunes
Rock and Roll suicide
Old rock and roll news
God only knows it's a fine way to play the blues
