HAIL HAIL ROCK 'N' ROLL
Pockets of hate
Rockets of love
It's never too late
For change in the color of
The color of her
The color of him
It really does matter
What skin you're in
Big yellow taxi cab passed me by
Stop on the next corner to pick up a white guy
The color of you
The color of me
You can't judge a man
By lookin' at the marquee
Hail hail rock 'n' roll
Comes from R & B and soul
Don't leave me standing in the cold
Used to think I'd never grow old
Hail hail rock 'n' roll
Don't leave me standing on the beat
Leave me stranded on the street
I see the light, I feel the heat
Blame it on you
Blame it on me
Now let's the erase the wound
That's in our history
Pain in my heart
Won't let me be
Take it from me
But don't you take away my liberty
Father of coal, mother of pearl
Never too black to blush to pick up a white girl
The color of you
The color of me
You can't judge a man
By lookin' at the marquee
Hail hail rock 'n' roll
Comes from R & B and soul
Don't leave me standing in the cold
I used to think I'd never grow old
Hail hail rock 'n' roll
Don't leave me standing on the beat
Leave me stranded on the street
I see the light, I feel the heat
Little Richard
Chuck Berry
Bo Diddley
Fats Domino
Here come Elvis
Gene Vincent
Buddy Holly
And Jerry Lee
Hail hail rock 'n' roll
Comes from R & B and soul
Don't leave me standing in the cold
Used to think I'd never grow old
Hail hail rock 'n' roll
Don't leave me standing on the beat
Leave me stranded on the street
I see the light, I feel the heat

[@Intruder2512]

This song is teaching a clear message to all of us: no matter what skin, no matter what education, no matter what religion...we are all brothers and sister here on earth. This, we should never ever forget ..no matter to which Lord we all pray to. BTW: Great song !

[@miken2213]

at least he is paying homage to what was the greatest and were it all got started'' why kiids don't get into real music today kills me' I mean to play it'' its one of the greatest liberating experiences in your life to make actual music '' a guitar scream , your voice scream thru a mic to something that will sends chills down your spine then you know your jamming '' it will change your life and give you a way and if you have the passion it will never leave you' never''

[@hyperspaced0]

[@andreacarafa200]

very beautiful Song fantastic!

[@IW901]

OMG, time flies but this song remains among my favourites, souvenirs souvenirs... Tx for posting it !

[@rajnirvan3336]

Old skool MTV

[@TheAgromc]

Best times ever!

[@rajnirvan3336]

+Valentin Velkovski Definitely miss those times

[@antred11]

+Raj Nirvan "Definitely miss those times" Me too, man, me too. The times when MTV actually had something to do with music. The 90s were generally a great time to be a kid.

[@rajnirvan3336]

antred11 and certain times for all types of music or a day dedicated to an artist but no reality tv shows apart from the real world which was ok

[@DLCOrganization]

True indeed. Unfortunately (but otherwise, for obvious reasons), the MTV in this particular recording was NOT MTV from the US, but rather likely from Australia or a European territory.

[@samrez-5530]

it must be on UNESCO list !!

[@BUweB]

Wonderful Song from a great Album. Love it.

[@iscreemz4494]

Just a freakin beauty of a song from an amazing artist! Love & respect from all of us at iScreemZ, Mr. Jeffreys! Xo

[@Geoffrey512]

❤️it

[@raouljeanluc]

Merci pour la musique Garland . J ' ai écouté ce monument la premiere fois à la radio chez Bernard Lenoir ...un signe ?

[@PgTrAxX]

1 of my life songs!

[@derbentena]

love the song, timeless

[@serpentstailrecordings5907]

♥ THIS>>>>>>>>>>>>

[@haikoroos7170]

I hear Madonna's Justify My Love loud and clear in it! But still, love this song!!!

[@pipergalvin2421]

this song was released in 1991 while Justify my love was released in 1993... conclusion....what you hear does not necessarily have to be the truth.... maybe in your mind, only.....but keep on loving... both songs send out that message...

[@marcoguido4487]

Piper Galvin Sorry to correct you Piper, Justify My Love was released in autumn 1990. And the sound of both the songs can be considered very typical of that period. Anyway, great track from Garland Jeffreys!

[@KevinPetrusNL]

Haiko Roos Cool, I just wanted to ask if this song was sampled in Justify My Love from Madonna (Lenny Kravitz wrote it)?

[@haikoroos7170]

Justify My Love was released before this song.... so I think it is just coincidence!

[@koks1959]

This song is based on "security of the first world" released 1988 , Public Enemy are the artist's, madonna's "justify" too! Anyway, this is an amazing song, love it!

[@turockandar]

I am of Swedish origin but for a number of reasons I feel a very strong connection with African American music and feel that people who are racist in the States have no understanding of the amazing accomplishments of the African American community in music (not to mention other areas); Blues, Gosiple, R&B , Funk, Rock and Roll the very essence of all contemporary music. America has a huge debt to its black community as any intelligent person knows.

[@benniefehily]

I heard this song once in the 80s and it stuck with me to this day and stills send shivers up my spine when i listen to this to the intro; it is a masterpiece of song crafting and way before its time; in fact it could be timeless or at least could only have come from that dimension; a gift!

[@briansaucy4871]

Love it !

[@lukjanowitsch1]

What a great Video. Punches you right in the gut with a fistful of truth. Garland you are the real thing!

[@Meternych]

[@Sonnenschein1969]

Super Song, hab ihn grad wieder neu entdeckt und hör ihn rauf und runter. Vom Sound erinnert er mich ein bißchen an Madonnas "Justify My Love". Geht das nur mir so?

[@Finne72]

I love this one, so much. As a finn I got bullied beyond belief growing up in Sweden, so it is not only happening in the USA. Thank you Garland

[@hartleycwhite]

Excellent song by one of my favourite musicians, Garland Jeffreys (and one of my musical influences too). I miss you Garland, keep playing your old albums.I also miss your live performances. I'm waiting for your new stuff.Best Regards. Hartley C.
