Live ’til I Die (demo) Songtext
von The Darkness

I was born out of wedlock on the 17th day
Of the third month of ′75
I watched my daddy working every hour God sends
Just to keep all of my dreams alive
I was the eldest of three, the pressure never got to me
Guess I had a vision of how everybody should be
Thinking not of what they'll miss, oh
Until we′re standing at the edge of the abyss

And live 'til I die
And laugh 'til I cry
Live ′til I die
And laugh ′til I cry
'Cause I know what I′m looking for
I won't listen anymore, anymore


Well, I went through some changes at the age of 14
And discovered all the joys of rock wear
I made a point of wearing unfeasible tight jeans
And endeavored just to grow my hair
But kids can be cruel, I wasn′t popular at school
I became the victim of a campaign of ridicule
But I'll stick by my guns, oh
And rise above the laughter of the ignorant ones

And live ′til I die
And laugh 'til I cry
Live 'til I die
And laugh ′til I cry
′Cause I know what I'm looking for
I won′t listen anymore, anymore, oh

And the soundest advice I ever heard a man give
Was daddy on the subject of the way I wanna live
If that's the path you wish to tread, ooh
Put all your clothes back on and take it off of your head
′Cause I'll always be here, and if you freeze, I′ll talk you down
You don't have to feel obliged to act the high school clown
I know you've got what it takes, ooh
And if you want to, you can learn from your mistakes

And live ′til you die
Laugh ′til you cry
Live 'til you die
Laugh ′til you cry, ooh
