I See Hawks in L.A. -Rock N Roll Cymbal from the 70s (2014)

18th of June 2026 Music Video Of The Day

I met her in the purple print

She said it had one dent

I couldn’t pay my rent

But I bought that Ziljian

28 inch hand spun ride

It filled me up with pride

My heart opened up and died

A sinking boat lifts all tides

I got a rock n roll cymbal from the seventies

I got a rock n roll cymbal from the seventies

She didn’t want to open the door

Till she realized we’d met before

At the second hand instrument store

She knew what I was there for

And like a pair of Doc Martens to the blind

She counted the paces to my mind

She said a decent second hand heart is hard to find

Just like a rock n roll cymbal from the seventies

Just like a rock n roll cymbal from the seventies

Just like a rock n roll cymbal from the seventies

I met her in the purple print

She said it had one dent

I couldn’t pay my rent

But I bought that beautiful sweet and other world

Rock n roll cymbal from the seventies

I got a rock n roll cymbal from the seventies

I got a rock n roll cymbal from the seventies

It’s only rock and roll

It’s only rock and roll
