When We Were Young

歌詞

When we were young nobody died And nobody got older The toughest kid in the street Could always be bought over And the first time that you loved You had all your life to give At least that's what you said The first time you got drunk You drank pernod and dry cider Smashed a window in as the police came round the corner You didn't have no time to run And your dad stood up for you As the judge said you're a fool Babies, s** and flagons, shifting women, getting stoned Robbing cars, bars and pubs, rubber johnnies, poems Starsky and Hutch gave good tv And Starsky looked like me The first time that you stole You stole rubber lips and tenners Bought a radio then ran away for ever Never felt so good, never felt so good with you When we were young we had no fear Of love nor s** nor warnings Everyone was hanging out, everyone was sorted When we were young nobody knew Who you were or what you'd do Nobody had a past that catches up on you Babies, s** and flagons, shifting women, getting stoned Robbing cars, bars and pubs, rubber johnnies, poems Starsky and Hutch gave good tv And Starsky looked like me What might have been What might have been What might have been With a start he was awoken From the middle of a dream He's making movies in his head That never will be seen He's holding Oscars in his hands And kissing beauty queens What might have been What might have been When we were young
