Adolescence Songtext
von Prefab Sprout

Adolescence - what′s it like?
It's a psychedelic motorbike
You smash her up ten times a day
Then walk away
It′s moonlight on a balcony
It's pure hormonal agony
Bad poetry. Its greeting card?
Will (the Bard)

Adolescence - why's it so?
Ask someone else; how should I know?
It′s a song I sang and then forgot
Too long ago
When I was a Romeo
In love forever
Unable to forget
Some Juliet


Romeo, Romeo
Inconstant? Never!
It′s knives flashing in fountains, poison
Capulets' letters that go astray
Molehills bigger than mountains
The priest that narrowly defined your way

Adolescence - what′s it for?
For keeping your nerve-endings raw, while
Something, something, something teens
And something fevered dreams
Escape each (paw?)

T's moonlight on a balcony
It′s pure hormonal agony
Bad poetry. Its greeting card?
Will (the Bard)

Poor Romeo - in love forever
Unable to forget Juliet
Romeo, Romeo - inconstant never

It's knives flashing in fountains, poison
Capulets′ letters that go astray
Molehills bigger than mountains
The priest that narrowly defined your way


Adolescence can be rough
I hope your heat-shield's tough enough
I hope that no-one dares to scoff
When you're brassed off
Adolescence, crimson red
Fireworks inside your head
Are three time brighter than the sun
Girls - have some fun.
