Lyrics

[00:16] When we were young nobody died
[00:19] And nobody got older
[00:21] The toughest kid in the street
[00:24] Could always be bought over
[00:26] And the first time that you loved
[00:28] You had all your life to give
[00:30] At least that's what you said
[00:35] The first time you got drunk
[00:36] You drank pernod and dry cider
[00:39] Smashed a window in
[00:40] as the police came round the corner
[00:43] You didn't have no time to run
[00:48] And your dad stood up for you
[00:49] As the judge said you're a fool
[00:52] Babies, sex and flagons, shifting women, getting stoned
[00:56] Robbing cars, bars and pubs, rubber johnnies, poems
[01:00] Starsky and Hutch gave good TV
[01:04] And Starsky looked like me
[01:09] The first time that you stole
[01:11] You stole rubber lips and tenners
[01:13] Bought a radio
[01:15] then ran away for ever
[01:18] Never felt so good
[01:20] never felt so good with you
[01:25] When we were young we had no fear
[01:28] Of love nor sex nor warnings
[01:31] Everyone was hanging out
[01:32] everyone was sorted
[01:35] When we were young nobody knew
[01:37] Who you were or what you'd do
[01:39] Nobody had a past that catches up on you
[01:43] Babies, sex and flagons, shifting women, getting stoned
[01:47] Robbing cars, bars and pubs, rubber johnnies, poems
[01:52] Starsky and Hutch gave good TV
[01:56] And Starsky looked like me
[01:29] When we were young
[02:05] What might have been × 3
[02:18] With a start he was awoken
[02:20] From the middle of a dream
[02:22] He's making movies in his head
[02:24] That never will be seen
[02:26] He's holding Oscars in his hands
[02:29] And kissing beauty queens
[02:31] What might have been
[02:35] What might have been
[02:38] When we were young
