Teenage Heart

(album: Cock Sparrer - 1977)

Friend of my mine said he rather be dead
With a bullet from a 45 in his head
Or his wrist slashed to ribbons with a blade instead
Than reach 24 that's what he said

Ooh, ooh, ooh, what they trying to do
To my teenage heart
I said ooh, ooh, ooh, what they trying to do
Try to tear it apart, try to tear it apart
My teenage heart

Remember the first time it seems so long
Had a new guitar and a handful of songs
We played in a run-down railroad shack
They said you're too loud, get out and don't you come back

Ooh, ooh, ooh, what they trying to do
With my teenage heart, my teenage heart
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, what they trying to do
Try to tear it apart, try to tear it apart
My teenage heart

High class pros in soho bars
Two time tramps wanna sleep with the stars
Living fast since the day they were born
Made it big, and now you gotta conform

Ooh, ooh, ooh, what they trying to do
With my teenage heart, my teenage heart
I said ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, what they trying to do
Try to tear it apart, try to tear it apart
My teenage heart
