lyrics

Ten Years Younger

If I was ten years younger and female, girl
I’d sweep you off your feet
We’d leave our humdrum lives a smoking ruin
I’d bring the sparkle to your eye, the colour to your cheek
The way, you know, that someone should be doing

I hope you find the lover you deserve
To make you feel undone & true & free
It’d make me smile, just to observe
Your logic matching up with mystery

If I was ten years younger and single, girl
I’d take you for a ride
We’d disappear & mystify our friends
We’d come back thick with mischief, smiles that we couldn’t hide
For our lost time, we’d surely make amends

I hope….

If I was ten years younger and smarter, girl
We’d turn this place around
We’d leave Babylon a-lickin’ at its wounds
We’d have done with hypocrisy, spread justice all around
And dance all night to all our favourite tunes

I hope…
