marshall crenshaw – my back pages lyrics
[verse 1]
crimson flames tied through my ears
rolling high and mighty traps
i pounced with fire on flaming roads
using ideas as my maps
“we’ll meet on edges soon,” said i
proud ‘neath heated brow
[refrain]
ah, but i was so much older then
i’m younger than that now
[verse 2]
half+wracked prejudice leaped forth
“rip down all hate,” i screamed
lies that life is black and white
spoke from my skull, i dreamed
romantic facts of musketeers
foundationed deep somehow
[refrain]
ah, but i was so much older then
i’m younger than that now
[verse 3]
in a soldier’s stance, i aimed my hands
at the mongrel dogs who teach
fearing not that i’d become my enemy
in the instant that i preached
my pathway led by confusion boats
mutiny from stern to bow
[refrain]
ah, but i was so much older then
i’m younger than that now
[guitar solo]
[refrain]
ah, but i was so much older then
i’m younger than that now
[verse 4]
yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
too n0ble to neglect
deceived me into thinking
that i had something to protect
good and bad, i define these terms
quite clear, no doubt, somehow
[refrain]
ah, but i was so much older then
i’m younger than that now
