Ever since i was or nine I've been standing on the shoreline waiting For something lasting Loose your hunger, you lose your way confused and you fade away
Oh this town Kills you when you are young Oh town Kills you when you are young
I'm not the boy i to be This town has got the youth of All eyes turn hollow From the work sorrow
Standing on the paving By the office They've got so much to do Never time for you
are shadows Oh we're shadows Shadows in the alley
die when you're young You die when you're young You die when you're young
