Youth Songtext
von Soft Cell

Youth has gone, I heard you say
It doesn′t matter anyway
Don't hide the photos
Or turn off the lights
I′m quite sure we've both seen funnier sights

Youth sleep in a deep, deep sleep
Beauty's skin deep

Youth has gone, though we′re still young
It′s hard, I know, to believe that I was somebody's son
The memories of what you once were
The memories of what we both were


Youth sleep in a deep, deep sleep
Beauty′s skin deep

Youth has gone, and don't think I don′t cry
We let ourselves slip and now I ask myself why
I'm on my own, and don′t think I really mind
When, after all, the years have been fairly kind

Youth sleep in a deep, deep sleep
Beauty's skin deep
Sleep in a deep, deep sleep
Beauty's skin deep


Youth, youth, youth
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Sleep, sleep
Sleep, sleep
Sleep, sleep
