Jethro Tull - Too Old to Rock 'N' Roll: Too Young to Die (1976)
http://youtu.be/Q0dsIeJ2EZU

The old Rocker wore his hair too long,
wore his trouser cuffs too tight.
Unfashionable to the end --- drank his ale too light.
Death's head belt buckle --- yesterday's dreams ---
the transport caf' prophet of doom.
Ringing no change in his double-sewn seams
in his post-war-babe gloom.

Now he's too old to Rock'n'Roll but he's too young to die.

He once owned a Harley Davidson and a Triumph Bonneville.
Counted his friends in burned-out spark plugs
and prays that he always will.
But he's the last of the blue blood greaser boys
all of his mates are doing time:
married with three kids up by the ring road
sold their souls straight down the line.
And some of them own little sports cars
and meet at the tennis club do's.
For drinks on a Sunday --- work on Monday.
They've thrown away their blue suede shoes.

Now they're too old to Rock'n'Roll and they're too young to die.

So the old Rocker gets out his bike
to make a ton before he takes his leave.
Up on the A1 by Scotch Corner
just like it used to be.
And as he flies --- tears in his eyes ---
his wind-whipped words echo the final take
and he hits the trunk road doing around 120
with no room left to brake.

And he was too old to Rock'n'Roll but he was too young to die.
No, you're never too old to Rock'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

有人說 Jethro Tull 的 Too Old to Rock 'N' Roll: Too Young to Die 頭幾句旋律被拿來用在「鹿港小鎮」後半段過門處，也有人說「鹿港小鎮」曲末 solo 跟 Hotel California 曲末 solo 很像，各位看倌認為呢？

假如你先生來自鹿港小鎮　請問你是否看見我的爹娘
我家就住在媽祖廟的後面　賣著香火的那家小雜貨店
假如你先生來自鹿港小鎮　請問你是否看見我的愛人
想當年我離家時她一十八　有一顆善良的心和一卷長髮

台北不是我的家　我的家鄉沒有霓虹燈
鹿港的街道　鹿港的漁村　媽祖廟裡燒香的人們
台北不是我的家　我的家鄉沒有霓虹燈
鹿港的清晨　鹿港的黃昏　徘徊在文明裡的人們

假如你先生回到鹿港小鎮　請問你是否告訴我的爹娘
台北不是我想像的黃金天堂　都市裡沒有當初我的夢想
在夢裡我再度回到鹿港小鎮　廟裡膜拜的人們依然虔誠
歲月掩不住爹娘純樸的笑容　夢中的姑娘依然長髮迎空

台北不是我的家　我的家鄉沒有霓虹燈
鹿港的街道　鹿港的漁村　媽祖廟裡燒香的人們
台北不是我的家　我的家鄉沒有霓虹燈
鹿港的清晨　鹿港的黃昏　徘徊在文明裡的人們

再度我唱起這首歌　我的歌中和有風雨聲
歸不得的家園　鹿鎮的小鎮　當年離家的年輕人
台北不是我的家　我的家鄉沒有霓虹燈
繁榮的都市　過渡的小鎮　徘徊在文明裡的人們

聽說他們挖走了家鄉的紅磚　砌上了水泥牆
家鄉的人們得到他們想要的　卻又失去他們擁有的
門上的一塊斑駁的木板　刻著這麼幾句話
子子孫孫永保佑　世世代代傳香火
哦...鹿港的小鎮...
