The Young Guitars Songtext
von The Stiffs

Did you catch the times or did your read the signs?
The Young Guitars are back in town tonight (tonight, tonight, tonight)
So with TNTs in both my E′s
Who needs to dance on fancy foot-machines

With an old electric razor wrapped around my wrist
Seventeen's no time for heroes, or for zeros

It was the Young Guitars, it was a one night stand
The Young Guitars (and the drummer was a man)
You′d better hold on tight because tonight's the night
And if you're just a little boy you′ll be a man tonight

They never fantasise about a pocket-size
With automatic symphony inside
And it′s suicide when you're trapped inside
A 24-track heart attack, attack


Then you take an old electric, strip down to my jeans
′85 and there's no heroes, no more zeros

It was the Young Guitars, it was a one night stand
It was the Young Guitars (and the drummer was a man)
You′d better hold on tight because tonight's the night
And if you′re just a little boy you'll be a man tonight

Seventeen's no time for heroes, or for zeros
′85 and there′s no heroes, no more zeros

Then you take an old electric, strip down to my jeans
'85′s the time for heroes, we're no zeros

It was the Young Guitars, it was a one night stand
The Young Guitars (and the drummer was a man)
You′d better hold on tight because tonight's the night
And if you′re just a little boy you'll be a man tonight


The Young Guitars, it was a one night stand
The Young Guitars (and the drummer was a man)
Hold on tight because tonight's the night
And if you′re just a little boy you′ll be a man tonight
