Quickstep - The Adverts

I knew my youth couldn’t last forever

I knew some chords so I got the band together

Sick of sleeping and beating up my mother

Forget these luxuries, I’ve got myself another buzz

Now you don’t see me, now you do Pretty s oon you’re going to see what punks can do I stole some tunes from the radio

I lost my nerve but it didn’t show

I found some friends with a little faith

Less money and no taste

Now you don’t see me, now you do Pretty soon you’re going to see what pu nks can do But you’ve got to work at it, what a drag

You’ve got to work, work, work, work

You can’t lag behind, lag behind, lag behind

I want to get this gig over

And I don’t want to see it again

But I don’t want to go until it’s over

And I don’t w ant to die in pain, die in pain

2−3-4!

I knew my youth can’t last forever

I’ll sing the words until I can’t keep the band together no more

Oh!

to do the quickstep on a Saturday night

And hunt like brave man with a flashlight

Now you don’t see me, no w you do Pretty soon you’re going to see what punks can do The Adverts
