ROCK AND ROLL, THESAURUSIZED.

BY CHRISTOPHER J. FALVEY.

"Rock and Roll"
BY LED ZEPPELIN

It has come to pass an extended era from the time when I swayed and revolved,

It has come to pass an extended era from the time when I performed the leisurely walk.

Ooh, allow me to obtain it in return, allow me to obtain it in return,

Allow me to obtain it in return, little one, where I approach from.

It has come to pass an extended era, come to pass an extended era,

Ensued an extended isolated, isolated, isolated, isolated, isolated occasion. Agreed it has.


"Yesterday"
BY THE BEATLES

In the recent past, every one of my dilemmas gave the impression of being so distantly absent.

At the present, it seems as though they're at this time to hang about.

Oh, I accept as true the recent past.

Abruptly, I'm not partially the gentleman I used to exist as.

There's a silhouette suspended on top of me.

Oh, the recent past approached abruptly.


"My Generation"
BY THE WHO

The populace attempts to place us behind
(Discussing on the subject of my age group)

Simply since we become known
(Discussing on the subject of my age group)

Belongings they do give the impression of being dreadfully chilly
(Discussing on the subject of my age group)

I anticipate I will expire previous to when I become aged
(Discussing on the subject of my age group)

This is my age group

This is my age group, infant


"Purple Haze"
BY JIMI HENDRIX

Violet mist completely in my intellect

Recently, effects simply don't give the impression of being identical

Carrying on humorously; however, I am not acquainted with the reason

Pardon me at the same time as I make out with the atmosphere

Violet mist altogether in the region of

Don't recognize if I'm approaching happy or depressed

Am I content or in desolation?

Suchlike it is, that lass placed a magic charm on top of me

Assist me
Assist me
Oh, no, no
