The Rave-Ups

The Rave-Ups are an American rock group founded in 1979 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania who gained greater attention after relocating to Los Angeles, California. They are best known for their alternative rock hit songs "Respectfully King of Rain" and "Positively Lost Me" as well as their appearances in Pretty in Pink and Beverly Hills, 90210.The group's music has been diverse, touching on singer-songwriter, pop-rock, power-pop, roots rock, alternative rock, and alt-country, well before the alt-country movement. Critic Ira Robbins described the Rave-Ups as having been "touted as the next big thing to erupt from the LA club scene" of the 1980s, but also dogged by legal and personal problems that hampered the band's success. more »

Rosie doesn't look back much now
She's moving way too fast
Has a delicate heart but
Doesn't care about that
Rosie isn't too good at much
Of anything and
Just wants to be famous
Any way that she can . . .

She's gonna roll . . . roll with the punches
She's gonna roll . . . roll with the world
She can't say right now
When the angels fell
But she's way too wrong for heaven
And too right for hell
She's gonna roll . . .

Joey was a pretty big man back
In his little town
'Til he got his ass kicked bad
Roaming around
Joey isn't a bad guy
Just got dealt a bad hand
He just wants to get money
Any way that he can

He's gonna roll . . . roll with the punches
He's gonna roll . . . roll with the world
He can hear the toll
Of a distant bell
But he's way too wrong for heaven
And too right for hell
He's gonna roll . . .

The night they met
At a bar around the way
She was lit, he was pissed
Talked about, thrown away
Nobody there saw any sparks
By the way
But by 2 they both rolled
Out the door, just okay
They were just okay

Rosie and her new man
Left town just before the dawn
But the road before them
Got too rough before long
Joey and his Rosie know
Damn well this road can't last
But they'll take it anyway . . . 
Light or dark, good or bad

They're gonna roll . . . roll with the punches
They're gonna roll . . . roll with the world
They're gonna walk right up
To the wishing well
They're not trying to get to heaven
They're just tired of hell
They're gonna roll . . .
