When I was sixteen
And music was a mushroom cloud
We'd shimmer in the glitter
And I'd sing your name aloud
In my youth
I'd simmer when I spoke
The World's biggest joke
In my youth
Sailed Clydeside on a boat
Made of broken oaths, yeah
This labyrinth my hometown
Amongst accomplices
The magic in your language
That was and always is
In my youth
You burnt these holes in me
For everyone to see
In my youth
Write love songs for you still
I guess I always will
