about

"That song came to me in a dream. It was a cool thing. I dreamt I was backstage somewhere, and Chuck Berry was sitting there in the green room, in a white suit. Just him and I. He said, “I hear you’re the new boy, show me what you got”. So, I played the verse. When I got to the chorus, he took the guitar and started singing, “We love to rock ‘n’ roll”…..I woke up and remembered it all. So when I recorded it, I left it exactly like the dream. There is a proper intro, and bridge, and have thought that if I could find a good re-mixer, it would be cool to add them in…" - AZLTRON interview

lyrics

WE LOVE TO ROCK ‘N’ ROLL
WE LOVE TO ROCK ‘N’ ROLL
WE LOVE TO ROCK ‘N’ ROLL

SPIRIT STUCK INSIDE A CEMENT CRACK
SHOE COMES BY
BREAKS MY BACK
DOWN SO LOW
ALL YOU SEE IS BLACK
AND YOU DON’T KNOW...

HOW YOU’LL GET BY IN A WORLD TURNED FLAT
SO SURREAL YOU NEVER COULD SIT BACK
HIGH AND DRY
SO YOU MAKE A PACT WITH THE DANCE FLOOR

WE LOVE TO ROCK ‘N’ ROLL
WE LOVE TO ROCK ‘N’ ROLL
WE LOVE TO ROCK ‘N’ ROLL
