DESCRIPTION:
From the 'Sheer Heart Attack' album, 1974. Written by Roger Taylor.

Roger Taylor sang the lead vocals. Backing track consisted of Taylor's drums, Mercury's piano, Deacon's bass and May's Red Special guitar. It's a typical Taylor track about youth and rebellion. It also includes echo effects with May's guitar, like in "Brighton Rock". The last couple of guitar notes overlap into "Flick Of The Wrist".

Lyrics:

My new purple shoes, bin amazin the people next door
And my rock n roll 45's, bin enragin the folks on the lower floor

I got a way with girls on my block
Try my best be a real individual
And when we go down to smokies and rock
They line up like its some kinda ritual

Oh give me a good guitar, and you can say that my hairs a disgrace
Or, just give me an open car, Ill make the speed of light outta this place

I like the good things in life
But most of the best things aint free
And this same situation, just cuts like a knife
When youre young, and youre poor, and youre crazy

But oh, give me a good guitar, and you can say that my hairs a disgrace
Or, just give me an open car, Ill make the speed of light outta this place...
