To all my dear R&P buds who feel they were born a generation too late : )?!
Question: To all my dear R&P buds who feel they were born a generation too late : )!?
(and I know there are a lot of you) My friend just played this song for me while on the way back from school!. I'm not sure if I like the song yet, but the lyrics really hit me, although I do not get the flower part, because a punk back in the 70's would have been beat up for that!.!.!. ah, well, anyway, have a listen if you like, or just read if you want : )

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
When the head of state didn't play guitar,
Not everybody drove a car,
When music really mattered and when radio was king,
When accountants didn't have control
And the media couldn't buy your soul
And computers were still scary and we didn't know everything
When pop-stars still remained a myth
And ignorance could still be bliss
And when God Saved the Queen she turned a whiter shade of pale
When my mom and dad were in their teens
And anarchy was still a dream
And the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail
When record shops were still on top
And vinyl was all that they stocked
And the super info highway was still drifting out in space
Kids were wearing hand me downs,
And playing games meant kick around
And footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face
I was born too late to a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

i think lines that mentioned punk rocker with flowers in my hair might mean she wishes that she was a cross between a punk rocker & a hippie!.

'I Wish I was a Punk Rocker with Flowers in My Hair' ~ Sandi Thom
I really like that song, and bought it not long after release!.
I feel very in-tune with the lyrics :)
Are you in the US or the UK!?
Because that was a big hit over here in the UK last year {Sandi's from Scotland}, along with the accompanying album!. Her new album, from this year, wasn't quite as good!. Www@Enter-QA@Com
