Bob Geldof - 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
