Nostalgia (That’s what rock’n’roll is all about) (Caetano Veloso)

You sing about waking up in the morning
But you're never up before noon
You look completely different from those straights
Who walked around on the moon
The clothes you wear
Would suit an old times baloon
You're allways nowhere
But you'll realize pretty soon
That's all that you care
Isn't worth a twelve bar tune

You won't believe you're just one more flower
Among so many flowers that sprout
You just feel faintly pround when you hear they shout
Very loud: "you're not allowed in here, get out"
That's what rock'n'roll is all about
That's what rock'n'roll is all about
I mean, that's what rock'n'roll was all about

Comentário do autor: ""Nostalgia" é uma piada com esse negócio de que muitos blues começam com "woke up this morning" e eu vivia nesse ambiente em que todo mundo acordava de tarde. Uma coisa interessante sobre "Nostalgia" é que quem toca gaita é Angela Ro ro." (Caetano Veloso em entrevista para um especial sobre seus 70 anos, 2012).
