i wanna be...

ok. i confess. i confess. i can't help it. i'm an aging sad cunt and this hits some soft spot that i thought would have hardened up ages ago. but no.

youth group's forever young remake really did it for me. it was a beautiful day, we were heading to watson's bay for a few drinkies in the sun and they played the track on the radio. i felt a warm nostalgic flush and it made me go 'aaaawwwwww!' thinking back to my teen years. heh. fuck i must be getting old!

i still remember how i danced my first ever slow to the original version with *the* oh-so-cute dj boy. he was gorgeous and i was nervous as hell. i can also remember how it lead to my fragile lil heart getting thrown on the freeway during the rush hr about a week later. heh.

let's dance in style, lets dance for a while | heaven can wait we're only watching the skies | hoping for the best but expecting the worst | are you going to drop the bomb or not? | let us die young or let us live forever | we don't have the power but we never say never | sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip | the music's for the sad men | can you imagine when this race is won | turn our golden faces into the sun | praising our leaders we're getting in tune | the music's played by the mad men | forever young, i want to be forever young | do you really want to live forever, forever and ever

some are like water, some are like the heat | some are a melody and some are the beat | sooner or later they all will be gone | why don't they stay young | it's so hard to get old without a cause | i don't want to perish like a fleeing horse | youth's like diamonds in the sun | and diamonds are forever | so many adventures couldn't happen today | so many songs we forgot to play | so many dreams swinging out of the blue | we let them come true | forever young, i want to be forever young | do you really want to live forever?

i know i will hate this track in a week or two after it's bloody everywhere. but since i don't do broadcast media i might be able to escape for a lil longer.
