Lyrics to When We Were Young
When We Were Young Video:
When we were young nobody died and nobody got older

The toughest kid in the street could always be bought over

The first time that you loved you had all your life to live

At least that's what you said

(When we were young)



The first time you got drunk you drank Pernod and dry cider

Smashed a window in as the police came around 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, sex and flagons

Shifting women, getting stoned

Robbing cars, bars and pubs

Rubber johnnies, poems(what might have been)

Starsky and Hutch gave good TV(what might have been)

And Starsky looked like me

When we were young



The first time that you stole you stole rubber lips and tenners

Bought a radio, then ran away forever

It never felt so good, never felt so good with you

(When we were young)



When we were young we had no fear of love nor sex nor warnings

Everyone was hanging out and 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, sex and flagons

Shifting women, getting stoned

Robbing cars, bars and pubs

Rubber johnnies, poems(what might have been)

Starsky and Hutch gave good TV(what might have been)

And Starsky looked like me

When we were young



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 Oscar in his hands and kissing beauty queens

What might have been (what might have been)

What might have been

When we were young
