Saying we’re juvenile delinquent wrecks

We can love, we can love

What a drag – too many snags

Well, I drunk a lot of wine and I’m feeling fine

Gotta race some cat to bed
        G            D                     A
Is this concrete all around or is it in my head?
               A7sus4
Brother you’ve guessed, that I’m a dude yeah!

Biography

Mott the Hoople were a British rock band that was formed in 1968 in Herefordshire, England, near the Welsh border. They were led by Ian Hunter until his departure in 1974. The band itself broke up in 1976. The group is best known for the international hit single “All the Young Dudes”, written by David Bowie and featured in films such as ‘Clueless’ and ‘Juno’. The band’s name came from a novel, authored by Willard Manus, about a freak-show worker named Norman Mott.
