Quickstep

Adverts (The)
(album: Crossing The Red Sea With The Adverts)

I knew my youth couldn´t last forever.
I knew some chords so I got the band together.
Sick of sleeping and beating up my mother.
Forget those luxuries, I´ve got myself another buzz.

Now you don´t see me, now you do.
Pretty soon now you´re going to see what punks can do.

I stole some tunes from the radio.
I lost my nerve but it didn´t show.
I found some friends with a little faith.
Less money and no taste.

Now you don´t see me, now you do.
Pretty soon now you´re going to see what punks can do.

But you´ve got to work at it.
What a drag.
You´ve got to work, work, work, work.
You can´t lag behind.

I want to get this gig over, and I don´t want to see it again.
But I don´t want to go until it´s over, and I don´t want to die in pain.

I know my youth can´t last forever.
I´ll sing the words until I can´t keep the band together no more.
Oh, to do the quickstep on a Saturday night,
And hunt like a brave man with a flashlight.

Now you don´t see me, now you do.
Pretty soon now you´re going to see what punks can do.
