Billy Idol released his ninth studio album “Dream Into It” and one of the tracks is “77” featuring Avril Lavigne.

“77” lyrics
“Going out after midnight
Two vampires on the street
People stare when we walk by
‘Cause they’re scared of you and me
I’m not the same as them, I never was
Never gonna let us in to their club
Know you gotta give it back
good as you got
‘Cause this is our time
and this is our shot
She said, she don’t
wanna run anymore
Don’t care about going to heaven
She said, do it like we did it before
Fight back like ‘77
Hey, hey, hey
Fight back like ‘77
Hey, hey, hey
Fight back like ‘77
Kings Road every weekend
They hate us
and they don’t know why
No love from policemen
Too fast to live, too young to die
Here come the teddy boys
and the skins
I can see them walking up
on the bridge
No, it’s not a fair fight
it never is
But you gotta swing first
and you better not miss
She said, she don’t
wanna run anymore
Don’t care about going to heaven
She said, do it like we did it before
Fight back like ‘77
Hey, hey, hey
Fight back like ‘77
Hey, hey, hey
Fight back like ‘77
It’s our lives
in their hands
Same old thing it’s always been
Sometimes we lose
sometimes we win
They show their teeth
we kick them in
She said, she don’t
wanna run anymore
Don’t care about going to heaven
She said, do it like we did it before
Fight back like ‘77
Hey, hey, hey
Fight back like ‘77
Hey, hey, hey
Fight back like ‘77”
The album was recorded with Idol’s longtime collaborator, the guitarist Steve Stevens. His band is also formed nowadays by Stephen McGrath (Guitar, keyboards), Billy Morrison (Guitar), Erik Eldenius (Drums) and Paul Trudeau (Keyboards). He has other special guests on this album like Joan Jett.
