lyrics

Back in the forest primaeval,
She'd heard about trash like us.
She'd seen us fighting drunk
Or in the long grass round the churchyard -
But into that mocking arena,
She came to dance with the diddikois.

Rebel rocker, rebel rocker,
Your dad don't like me,
But I don't care.
See you Friday down the café,
My little rebel rocker, yeah?

She was a high school commanchero.
She never really got the point.
She aspired to a Hell's Angel wedding
With a motor-bike manual for a Bible.
She mothballed her spurs and her jodhpurs
To join the night café biker girls.
Rebel rocker, rebel rocker,
Your dad's a vicar,
But I don't care.
See you Friday down the café,
My little rebel rocker, yeah?

One day, we change into people
Who can't dance the Madison -
But in the roaring years when I loved her,
She didn't give a tinker's cuss
Yet she married some bloke called Tony
When all the bikes ran out of petrol -
But back in the forest primaeval,
She used to dance with the diddikois.

Rebel rocker, rebel rocker,
I'm broken-hearted,
But you don't care.
Missed you Friday down the café,
My little rebel rocker, yeah.
