when i was young

Lyrics

the rooms were so much colder then, my father was a soldier then, and times were very hard, when i was young, when i was young, i smoked my first cigarette at ten, and for girls, i had a bad yen, and i had quite a ball, when i was young, when i was young, it was more important, pain more pain, but i laughed a much louder, yeah, when i was young, when i was young, i met my first love at thirteen, she was brown and i was pretty green, and i learned quite a lot when i was young, when i was young, when i was young, when i was young, it was more important, pain more painful, laughed a much louder, yeah, when i was young, when i was young, my faith was so much stronger then, i believed in fellow man, and i was so much older then, when i was young, when i was young, when i was young, when i was young, when i was young
