From 2009 album "Help Me!"

The way we were in 1983 My mom and dad were into easy listening No rock and roll was to be found in here Even no pop, only a little country What most attracted me was classical I liked what mommy liked and had no complaints But my brother did not agree with me And so he got himself some Michael Jackson It was the first rock record in our house It was a shock for our mom and dad but As I was just a 6-year-old child I liked it right away Ever lived in a rock-free home? Would you miss anything at all? Would you endure the music I liked best Or would you run away? My bro and I would get more rock and roll Throughout the rest of the 80's and so I had a time when I liked everything And didn't mind what record we had playing My brother never turned back to his mom And stayed with rock and roll as did his school peers While I eventually went classical And spent my teenage isolated from rock I only had three friends in school Who shared my love for classical, while My mom was proud that I went that way as She wanted me to stay During my teenage I just hated rock I couldn't stand a note of guitar solos I was so used to music that was soft I would be scared if any rock was playing I grew up listening to classical So even though I like rock and roll now It's classical I still play more often 'cause It just comes naturally x
