When Lights Are Low

When I Was a Youngster

Various Artists

I can remember that when I was a little youth I,

Wanted to fly around the world making a new life,

I never thought today, I'd be where I am now,

Yo, wanted to be a fireman,

Than I lost the desire man,

The second I got old enough,

To buy myself a cider can,

Yeah, I was a smart little kid,

That side's departed me since,

These days you can catch me,

Sitting on the bench in the park

with a lager and crisps

Back when I was younger,

I wanted to be everything on the planet,

Now that I am older,

It seems the ambition has vanished,

Yeah when I was a youngster,

When I was a, when I was a youngster,

Youngster, when I was a youngster

Yeah, and now that I'm older,

I wish I could've been

everything that I wanted,

I'm on it

I think that if I think back back to the days

When I thought I didn't think that,

Nothing that I thought would not be possible,

Ha, try and figure that out,

Back when I didn't know how,

To settle for a desk job bring in those pounds,

I wanted to live in those clouds,

These days I deliver those sounds

I always thought of myself as a simple dreamer,

I never tried too hard but believed it,

Now all of a sudden, it's gone my way

Back when I was younger,

I wanted to be everything on the planet,

Now that I am older,

It seems the ambition has vanished,

Yeah when I was a youngster,

When I was a, when I was a youngster,
