Village Man

written by Fran Healy

I don't want to rock
Baby don't want to rock
I just feel I'm stuck
Up against the clock
I don't really want to rock tonight
Only want to hold you tight

I don't want to roll
Baby don't want to roll
I just feel I'm cold
Like I'm getting old
I don't really want to roll tonight
I only want to hold you tight
Please please don't turn out the light

Rock and roll village man
Northern soul Peter Pan
Rock and roll rocket man
Skater face Desperate Dan
Rock and roll never sounded better

I don't want to be
Baby don't want to be
I just feel it's me
Falling off the tree
I don't really want to be tonight
I only want to keep you right

I don't want to try
Baby don't want to try
I just feel I'm dry
Trying to get by
I don't really want to try tonight
I only want to hold you tight
Please please don't turn out the light

Rock and roll rocket man
Skater face Desperate Dan
Rock and roll village man
Northern soul Peter Pan
You can you can you can you can
You can you can you can you can

Rock and roll village man
Northern soul Peter Pan
Rock and roll village man
Skater face Desperate Dan
Rock and roll never sounded better

Oh

I don't want to rock
Baby don't want to rock
I just feel I'm stuck
Up against the clock
I don't really want to rock tonight
Only want to keep you right

I don't want to roll
Baby don't want to roll
I just feel I'm cold
Like I'm getting old
I don't really want to roll tonight
I only want to hold you tight
Please please don't turn out the light
