Prefab Sprout - Adolescence lyrics

Adolescence — what's it like? It's a psychedelic motorbike You smash it up ten times a day Then you walk away It's moonlight on a balcony, It's pure hormonal agony Bad poetry – It's greeting card Will the bard Adolescence - why's it so? Ask someone else how should I know? It's a song I sang And then forgot too long ago When I was a Romeo in love forever, Unable to forget some Juliet Romeo, Romeo, inconstant? Never! It's knives flashing in fountains Poison, Capulets, letters that go astray Molehills bigger than mountains You're pre sat nav. Learning to find your way Adolescence - what's it for? It's for keeping your nerve endings raw While relay teams of fevered dreams escape each pore It's moonlight on a balcony, It's pure hormonal agony Bad poetry – It's greeting card Will the bard Romeo in love forever, Unable to forget some Juliet Romeo, Romeo, inconstant? Never! It's knives flashing in fountains Poison, Capulets, letters that go astray Molehills bigger than mountains You're pre sat nav. Learning to find your way Adolescence can be rough I hope your heat-shield's tough enough I hope that no one dares to scoff When you blast off Adolescence Crimson/Red Fireworks inside your head You're three times brighter than the sun - have some fun
