RAG - 17 (This Side of Paradise) 2025 Remaster (Radio Edit) Lyrics

From her window
She can watch them passin' by
Life ain't easy
On this side of paradise
And another cigarette just won't take away the pain
The illusions you once had seem to vanish as you
Sit for hours
In the pouring rain outside
Ragged trousers
And again a day goes by
And another cigarette just won't take away the pain
The illusions you once had seem to vanish in the shade
Seventeen (seventeen)
You were young and had your dreams now
Now it seems now it seems
Lights turned out at seventeen oh shame
Seventeen (seventeen)
You were young and had your dreams now
Now it seems now it seems
Lights turned out at seventeen
Desperation
Cause the tension is so strong
All these people
Still the loneliness goes on
And another cigarette just won't take away the pain
The illusions you once had seem to vanish in the shade
Seventeen (seventeen)
You were young and had your dreams now
Now it seems now it seems
Lights turned out at seventeen oh shame
Seventeen (seventeen)
You were young and had your dreams now
Now it seems now it seems
Lights turned out at seventeen
Shame
Seventeen (seventeen)
You were young and had your dreams now
Now it seems now it seems
Lights turned out at seventeen oh shame
Seventeen (seventeen)
You were young and had your dreams now
Now it seems now it seems
Lights turned out at seventeen!
