Legal Teens Lyrics
The surgery took no time
I had it before Friday
A test in elocution
For better rhyming couplets
We'll all survive
To let it spill out
At the sermon
Earnest in intention
Crass in execution
Cigarettes and Prozac
Blinkering my vision
But if we'd have started years ago
Would we still be here today?
Am I sweeter than the innocence you took from me?
Am I a card to play, or throw away?
Away, somewhere
Lost at noughts and crosses
Downstairs clinking glasses
Let me through the window
Tell them nothing happened
But if we'd have started years ago
Would we still be here today?
As we tossed the coin it froze and crystallized
But we never took the picture
And if all this gets any more hard
And time starts standing still
Then I'll wave the wand of innocence
While you plead
And blow us all to hell
But until then...
I had it before Friday
A test in elocution
For better rhyming couplets
To let it spill out
At the sermon
Crass in execution
Cigarettes and Prozac
Blinkering my vision
Would we still be here today?
Am I sweeter than the innocence you took from me?
Am I a card to play, or throw away?
Downstairs clinking glasses
Let me through the window
Tell them nothing happened
Would we still be here today?
As we tossed the coin it froze and crystallized
But we never took the picture
And if all this gets any more hard
And time starts standing still
Then I'll wave the wand of innocence
While you plead
And blow us all to hell
But until then...
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
well done with this...sounds pretty accurate.
to me it kinda sounds like a song about losing your virginity with your childhood sweetheart.
very beautiful regardless.
Vennart about the song (source: interview on the Feed to Feed DVD)
"It's just about being sort of celebrating sort of being young and scared at being at school and scared at being [...] You're just scared of failing all the time. [...] I have still nightmares about that I'm still at school and I'm still worrying about the same stupid shit that I was when I was 13. [...] So, and waking up feels great and knowing that I don't have to think like that anymore. [...] It's just something I think about a lot for some reason."
i think the last part is:
"But if we'd have started years ago Would we still be here today? As we toss the coin, it falls Curse the lies But we never took the picture And if all this gets any more And time starts standing still Then I'll wave the wand of innocence While you repeat And blow us to hell...all to hell"
These are the correct lyrics. Source: Mike Vennart. Ace Song anyway
