hammill peter - jeunesse d'oree lyrics
the youth are voting with their feet –
such a shame that the dance-beat gets so complicated.
pretty, pretty it seems…
on second glance, the look is overrated.
in the lost-house there’s a magic potion,
timeless motion….
now and again now lasts forever;
jeuness d’oree gliding the lily of pleasure.
the youth are voting with their clothes –
such a shame that the hip post is so calculated.
round and round it goes: how careless
the rapture that’s overstated.
in the picture last devotion, waveless ocean –
time and again styles goes out of fashion
jeunesse d’oree taking the heat out of p-ssion!
look at the kid with the golden touch,
check out the story expression;
look at the man with the golden arm
and the sensational lesson.
follow-my-leader’s a game we can play
till we swallow the tail without thinking
catch the hook, tow the line –
never mind that we’re sinking!
the youth are voting themselves in…
but the wheel takes a fresh spin
and they find, tomorrow,
gaudy garments worn thin, all at best rent…
and the worst are borrowed.
closing orders, fading nations, dissipation,
time and again, time’s unforgiving;
jeunesse d’oree gilding the lily of living
now and again, now lasts forever;
jeunesse d’oree gilding the lily of pleasure.
… cut.
