A sixteen hundred packed with angry young men
|
Came burning down mainstreet
|
I touched the epiphone that hung on my hip
|
It knew the sound of my heartbeat
|
But turning the corner in a twisted heap
|
They pulled some bodies
|
From an upturned Ford
|
Some kid looked at me and said it's only life
|
Might as well use it while we're young
|
Might as well use it while we're young
|
|
I queued with some friends outside the ABC one
|
To see the killer with no name
|
Yeah De Niros so great, and you know last week
|
I saw the universe in flames
|
But it's always the same like Citizen Kane
|
Y'end up with nothing and you leave for home
|
Talking and kicking coke cans in the street
|
As Fu Manchu Looks on
|
As Fu Manchu Looks on
|
|
And I thought they must think I'm crazy
|
The things I'll see for fun
|
Then in my mind I saw the enemy
|
And I wasted him with my gun
|
|
I thought of my brother working Heathrow
|
Flying engines in the night
|
Learning every part he'll be through in years
|
When I'm signed on for life
|
Lying here waiting for a hero to rise
|
But a lazy man lies back instead
|
No one hears the young man when he's alone
|
Planning to kill someone
|
Planning to kill someone
|
|
And I thought it must be me who's crazy
|
The things I'll do for fun
|
Choosing poison to get to paradise
|
Paradise west one
|
|
And I thought it must be me who's crazy
|
The things I'll do for fun
|
Choosing poison to get to paradise
|
Paradise west one
|
