about

Inspired by the musician Bobby Fuller of The Bobby Fuller Four and the many theories surrounding his mysterious death.

lyrics

Well the legend of Bobby Fuller
 is a sad and guarded tale
The guy who Fought the Law
 didn’t even get bail

Bobby wanted out of his record deal
 but there was something that he didn’t know
A million dollars for the record machine,  
if he was John Doe

 The music industry bosses  
didn’t really care
It was all about the money
 and who was gonna pay

He went to a meeting late one night,  
in his Mamma’s car
Doused in petrol, beaten and bruised  
by the Music Mafia

They sent in The Mob
 to rough him up a bit,
But these guys didn’t know when to stop
but Bobby’s body did

Bobby wasn’t the only one
to try and walk away,
There were plenty others
and they’ll be plenty more

It’s a dirty old world
 It’s a dirty ‘ol world 
It’s a dirty ‘ol world
It’s a rock’n’roll world

It’s a dirty old world 
It’s a dirty ‘ol world 
It’s a dirty ‘ol world
It’s a rock’n’roll world

Running for love,  
running for life
Running all day
and into the night
Standing with a shadow of a tear in his eye
He realises…..

It’s a dirty old world 
It’s a dirty ‘ol world 
It’s a dirty ‘ol world
It’s a rock’n’roll world

It’s a dirty old world 
It’s a dirty ‘ol world 
It’s a dirty ‘ol world
It’s a rock’n’roll world

It’s a dirty old world 
It’s a dirty ‘ol world 
It’s a dirty ‘ol world
It’s a rock’n’roll world
