1...2...3...4!

You want a part of me
You want the whole thing
You want to feel something more than I could ever bring
You want it badly
You want it tangled
I want to feel something more than I was strangled

I fell in love with the sweet sensation
I gave my heart to a simple chord
I gave my soul to a new religion
Whatever happened to you?
Whatever happened to our rock'n'roll?
Whatever happened to my rock'n'roll?

She wants it hallow
She wants it tainted
She wants to feel something more than she was naked
You want to hide away
You can't touch it
I want to feel something more than I care to take

I fell in love with the sweet sensation
I gave my heart to a simple chord
I gave my soul to a new religion
Whatever happened to you?
Whatever happened to our rock'n'roll?
Whatever happened to my rock'n'roll?

She wants your image
She wants your kiss
She wants to get inside your head and tell it like it is
You want it badly
You want it so complete
I want to feel something more cos I can't fuckin' breathe

I fell in love with the sweet sensation
I gave my heart to a simple chord
I gave my soul to a new religion
Whatever happened to you?
Whatever happened to our rock'n'roll?
Whatever happened to my rock'n'roll?

    My Opinion:I'd say they're an indie folk type. Or alternative folk. The have that sort of sound to them. They use many guitars and such, different percussion in some songs.

    General Comment:i think that the bands overall genre(not this song though) is kinda garbage rock/garage rock, with some blues n roll n psychedellic. its a whole lotta good music, and they put so much meaning behind their songs that u cant help but love em.

    General Comment:it defines music.
    music is an expression of the soul, and whatever happened to it. depth has left music in recent years and they're lamenting it's decline, while at the same time revivng it,

    General Comment:lunatic96....I never realized it but you're right! The guitars are very shoegazer-like. Nice observation.

    General Comment:White Trash, this song is an old school punk song. Fast paced, has that certain attitude, yet still hasn't lost the rock'n'roll flavor, that is what old school punk rock is.

    General Comment:They're kind of shoegazerish. At least with the whole "wall of guitars" sound i.e. My Bloody Valentine and Spacemen 3. Great song too.
