Soft Cell - Youth lyrics

rate me

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

You

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

You

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

You

Sleep in a deep deep sleep

Beauty is skin deep

Sleep in a deep deep sleep

Beauty is skin deep

Youth...Youth...Youth...Sleep
