Song | Jealous of Youth |
Artist | The The |
Album | Solitude |
作词 : Johnson | |
It's funny how, as we grow old | |
We cling to the past as we cling to the air | |
And feel nostalgia for things that were maybe never there | |
The town where innocence was bullied and flared | |
The house where desire's first fluids bled | |
But now the autumn leaves are turning to the color of rust | |
I'm getting jealous for youth's first yearnings for lust | |
I wanna live | |
I wanna live | |
But I ain't a big enough man to anything other than think | |
There's a girl | |
I used to know | |
Who I think still lives 'round here | |
Up there, on top of that council tower | |
I was once her man | |
At the midnight hour | |
When I was as lusty as a dog | |
Come moonshine or fog | |
When our tongues would entwine | |
Long and slow | |
When we thought | |
We'd never let each other go | |
Oh no? But now the autumn leaves are turning to the color of rust | |
I'm getting jealous for youth's first yearnings for lust | |
I wanna live | |
I wanna live | |
But I ain't a big enough man to anything other than think | |
Yet it's funny how as we grow old | |
We curse and point our finger at those | |
Those, those, those | |
Who made us scared and made us old | |
Who touched our bodies and bruised our souls | |
Who have made us scared and made us old | |
It was those, | |
God It was those | |
Who made us scared | |
And made us old | |
The autumn leaves are turning to the color of rust | |
I'm getting jealous for youth's first yearnings for lust | |
I wanna live | |
I wanna live | |
I wanna live | |
I wanna live | |
But I ain't a big enough man to anything other than think | |
I wanna live | |
I wanna live | |
I wanna live | |
I wanna live | |
I wanna live | |
I wanna live | |
I wanna live | |
I wanna live | |
But I ain't a big enough man to anything other than think |
