Bob Geldof - Young & Sober Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
In the year of '55 when I was born a child
  • I felt the Lord settle on my shoulder
  • Now through those childish days
  • He would guide my guideless ways
  • For I was young and I was sober
  • And in the year of '65, a troubled life and troubled times
  • And the Lord, was standin' at my shoulder
  • And I wished that life was other but that I could be another
  • But I was me and I was young and sober
  • And in the year of '75 is when I sang myself alive
  • And the Lord sat whistling on my shoulder
  • So I stood up and I sang, and that's when my life began
  • And I was young and sober
  • And in the year of '85 we watched the millions starve and die
  • And the Lord, perched like the vulture on my shoulder
  • So we sent some bread and water, tried our best to stop the slaughter
  • And we were young and sober
  • But in the year of '95, I loved my faithless wife
  • And the devil must have muttered on her shoulder
  • So she left me for another, whom I'd once had thought my brother
  • And I grew drunk and older
  • Said in the year of '05 with a beautiful new wife
  • And the Lord, just sat there smiling on her shoulders
  • So we drank from lifers cup, watched the children growin' up
  • 'Cause she had made me once again young and sober
  • For I was young and sober
