Growin' Up - Alvin Stardust

作词：Springsteen

Growing up

Growing up

Growing up

Growing up

Well I stood stone like at midnight

Suspended in my masquerade

And I combed my hair 'til it was just right

And commanded the night brigade

I was open to pain across by the rain

And I walked on a crooked crutch

I strolled all alone through a fall out zone

Came out with my soul untouched

And I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd

And when they said sit down I stood up

Oooh

Growing up

Oooh

Growing up

And the flag of piracy it flew from my mast

And my sails were set wing to wing

I had a juke box graduate for first mate

She couldn't sail but she sure could sing

And I pushed b52 when I bombed 'em with the blues

With my gear set stubborn on standing

I broke all the rules strafed my old high school

Never once gave a thought to landing

And I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd

And when they said come down I threw up

Oooh

Growing up

Oooh

Growing up

I took month long vacations in the stratosphere

You know it's really hard to hold your breath

Swear I lost everything I ever loved or feared

I was the cosmic kid in full costume dress

Well my feet finally took root in the earth

I got me a nice little place in the stars

Yeah I swear I found the key to the universe

In the engine of an old parked car

I hid in the mother breast of the crowd

And when they said pull down I pulled up

Oooh

Growing up

Oooh

Growing up

You know it was cool just growing up

Yeah we were cool growing up
