Shoreline

Ever since I was eight or nine. I've been standing on the shoreline All my life I've been waiting for something lasting Oh this town kills you when you are young Oh this town it kills you when you are young. I'm not the boy that I used to be This town has got the youth of me All the eyes turn hollow From the work of sorrow You die young You die when you're young You die when you're young We are shadows Oh, we're shadows Just shadows in the alley Standing on the paving By the office building There's so much to do Never time for you You die young You die when you're young You die when you're young We are shadows Oh, we're shadows Just shadows in the alley I've got nothing Nothing to wait for Nothing to wait for Ooh Where is life in this town? Where is life in this town?
