Samson Too Close to Rock Album: Head On - 1980 Dickinson/Samson/Aylmer/Thunderstick 'Bruce Bruce' Dickinson - Vocals Paul Samson - Guitar (RIP 2002) Chris Aylmer - Bass Guitar (RIP 2007) Barry 'Thunderstick' Purkis Graham - Drums We had you trained, to be so classical And you learned to play the guitar at school, But now we've caught you, you've been playing the fool, We don't think your musical taste is cool. Too close to rock and roll, I paid for the teacher so I own your soul. Move out of the house, you can't use the car, You spend your lectures just drinking in the college bar, You don't wanna get a job, you won't get far Pretty soon you're gonna come home gonna need your Ma and Pa Too close to rock and roll, I paid for the teacher so I own your soul. Too close to Too close to Too close to Rock and roll
