Live 'til I Die Songtext
von The Darkness

I was born out of wedlock on the seventeenth 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
I 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

Live ′til I die
I laugh 'til I cry
Live 'til I die
I laugh ′til I cry

′Cause I know what I'm looking for
I won′t listen any more
Any more

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 unfeasibly tight jeans
And endeavoured just to grow my hair


Oh, but kids can be cruel, I wasn't popular at school
I became the subject 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
I laugh ′til I cry
Live 'til I die
I laugh 'til I cry

′Cause I know what I′m looking for
I won't listen any more
Any more

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
And laugh 'til you cry
