When I Was Young lyrics
Live fast
Be a spark and glow a while
You ll be dead a long, long time
Be a shooting star
And in one mad moment
Burning bright
Light the night
And make us stand in awe
Live fast
Be a supernova
Explode now while you can
Then flashing in the pan
Be a streak of red
Against the grey
Do it young
Don t let time slip away
And make us real
And feel
And see
Your beauty
Live fast.
When I was young
I would do a million things
Dreaming up a thousand schemes
I would change the world each night
I would tear the stars apart
Confusion tore that pounding heart
With certainty that things weren t right
I d read all that student stuff
Read it till I d had enough
Then making up my own mind
Think it
Feel it
I believed I d never die
When I was young
When I was young
Hopes were built like shining spires
Reaching up and spearing skies
That rained their bitter tears around
I remember all these things and more
I believed I d never die
When I was young
Baby, baby, baby when the whole world turns around
Baby, baby, baby keeps both feet on the ground
Baby, baby, baby when there s nothing else to do
Then baby, baby, baby I hold on tight to you
Cos there ain t no rear view mirror in my car
I ain t looking back
Not very far
