When I Was 17 Songtext
von Ivan & the Parazol

I first grew my hair, when I was 17
Wanted to be the coolest on the scene
Paintin′ a lightnin' in the middle of my face
Show them where my mind is at

Day after day we′re movin' to the city
Choosin' the style I rely on Ziggy
Every night you′re playin′ songs 'bout your life
Hope they′ll understand why

Cause it's a
Better better better better better better
Way to go
To have a
Little little little little little little
Rock ′n roll
I never never never never never never
Let it go
Cause it's a better better better better better better way to go


Try to analyze what it′s all about
Lookin' at every face in the crowd
Every night you play song 'bout your life
Hope they′ll understand why

Cause it′s a
Better better better better better better
Way to go
To have a
Little little little little little little
Rock 'n roll
I never never never never never never
Let it go
Cause it′s a better better better better better better way to go

Goin' to the parties
Small talks all the time
The dream I′ve been chasin' is still not mine
You gotta believe me it′s still a lot of fun
After some time on the road that's all you can
Do for survivin' the night
Cause we′re all creating that vibe
When I was 17 I never thought that something like this gonna
Happen to us


Cause it′s a
Better better better better better better
Way to go
To have a
Little little little little little little
Rock 'n roll
I never never never never never never
Let it go
Cause it′s a better better better better better better way to go
