anthonie tonnon - the songs of your youth lyrics
[verse 1]
you are enamoured with the sound of her name
you graft it into the songs of your youth
and hum the tune against the roof of your mouth
on your drive to the hospital
and when you see her
it’s like taking a scalpel from the packet
oh
[verse 2]
this city is ageing with no grace
they stare out your window
at the motorway and the smokestack
while you tell them how long it could be
and her beauty
is the only thing her whining generation
has given to the world
oh but
you would pay off her loan
if it could make her yours
you touch her back in surgery
as if you need to get past
and your expert fingers scan
the things underneath her scrubs
[verse 3]
a fragile olive frame
a few monitored moles
a strong new strap
carrying redemption in tiny parcels
and at night
(and at night)
that motorway takes you
(that motorway takes you)
to a town where everyone is young
(to a town where everyone is young)
and you operate the boiler at the kindergarten
(and you operate the boiler at the kindergarten)
and she’s there
(and she is there)
needles and forceps in her hair
(with needles and forceps in her hair)
and she knows all the songs you love
(and she knows all the songs you love)
and she sings them while you’re driving
(and she sings them)
she sings
