To Be a Young Man
Ben Hillier, Nadine Shah
[Verse 1]
I was once a virtuous man
Now stealing's all I've got
I was once a handsome brute
Had models had the lot
My entourage was huge
And everywhere we'd go
Silly ones would follow
Cause we were in the know
[Chorus 1]
Oh to be a young man again
Oh to be a young man
[Verse 2]
We never spoke of aspirations
Instead we made and worked and did
But there were hopes and dreams
That we locked up and hid
Now we're stuck in nine to fives
A monotonous routine
And any hope we had
Seems distant and obscene
[Chorus 2]
Oh to be a young man again
Oh to be a young man again
You don't know what I would give
To be a young man
A young man again
Oh to be a young man again
To be a young man again
