Born To Rock'n'Roll

Originally recorded as part of the soundtrack to 'Time, the musical'

Words and music by Dave Clark, David Soames and Jeff Daniels

Performed by Freddie and Cliff Richard at a special gala performance of Time on 14th April 1988 (they did this, "It's In Every One Of Us" and "In My Defence"). It was Freddie's only ever solo live appearance and also his last ever live appearance (the two with Montserrat Caballe were both mimed).

If music be the food of love then play on

Lend me your ears as I lay down this song

You're touched by the feeling - it's hard to control

Let me tell you people I was born to rock'n'roll

Some people want to fight, some people want to fly

Others live for pleasure, even do or die

Some are born to power, try to save a soul

Let me tell you people I was born to rock'n'roll

It may sound a little absurd

But I was born to spread the word

Got the music in my soul

I was born to rock'n'roll

Some people are born to money, privileged all their days

Never had a problem, never had to pay

But I don't have a doubt about the feeling in my soul

Let me tell you people I was born to rock'n'roll

It may sound a little absurd

But I was born to spread the word

Got the music in my soul

I was born to rock'n'roll

It may sound a little absurd

But I was born to spread the word

Got the music in my soul

I was born to rock'n'roll

Born to rock, to rock'n'roll
