The Adverts - Quickstep Lyrics
Quickstep (written 4/77)I knew my youth couldn't last foreverI knew some chords so I got the band togetherSick of sleeping and beating up my motherForget these luxuries, I've got myself another buzzNow you don't see me, now you doPretty sOon you're going to see what punks can doI stole some tunes from the radioI lost my nerve but it didn't showI found some friends with a little faithLess money and no tasteNow you don't see me, now you doPretty soon you're going to see what puNks can doBut you've got to work at it, what a dragYou've got to work, work, work, workYou can't lag behind, lag behind, lag behindI want to get this gig overAnd I don't want to see it againBut I don't want to go until it's overAnd I don't wAnt to die in pain, die in pain2-3-4! I knew my youth can't last foreverI'll sing the words until I can't keep the band together no moreOh! to do the quickstep on a Saturday nightAnd hunt like brave man with a flashlightNow you don't see me, noW you doPretty soon you're going to see what punks can doThe Adverts
