Youth

Soft Cell · At The BBC [2003]

Youth has gone

I heard you say

It doesn't matter

Anyway



Don't hide the photos

Or turn off the lights

I'm quite sure we've both seen

Funnier sights



Youth sleep

In a deep, deep sleep

Beauty is skin deep



Youth has gone

Though we're still young

It's hard, I know to believe

That I was somebody's son



The memories

Of what you once were

The memories of what

We both were



Youth sleep

In a deep, deep sleep

Beauty is skin deep



Youth has gone

And don't think I don't cry

We let ourselves slip

And now I ask myself why



I'm on my own

And don't think I really mind

When after all

The years have been fairly kind



Youth sleep

In a deep, deep sleep

Beauty is skin deep



Sleep

In a deep, deep sleep

Beauty is skin deep



Youth, youth, youth sleep
