Bob Geldof - When I Was Young Lyrics
Live fastBe a spark and glow a whileYou'll be dead a long, long timeBe a shooting starAnd in one mad momentBurning brightLight the nightAnd make us stand in aweLive fastBe a supernovaExplode now while you canThen flashing in the panBe a streak of redAgainst the greyDo it youngDon't let time slip awayAnd make us realAnd feelAnd seeYour beautyLive fast.When I was youngI would do a million thingsDreaming up a thousand schemesI would change the world each nightI would tear the stars apartConfusion tore that pounding heartWith certainty that things weren't rightI'd read all that student stuffRead it till I'd had enoughThen making up my own mindThink itFeel itI believed I'd never dieWhen I was youngWhen I was youngHopes were built like shining spiresReaching up and spearing skiesThat rained their bitter tears aroundI remember all these things and moreI believed I'd never dieWhen I was youngBaby, baby, baby when the whole world turns aroundBaby, baby, baby keeps both feet on the groundBaby, baby, baby when there's nothing else to doThen baby, baby, baby I hold on tight to youCos there ain't no rear view mirror in my carI ain't looking backNot very far
