about

{1984–1985 demo recording digitized from cassette, restored, edited, mixed and mastered at 48k-24b}

lyrics

If I seriously try to catch you in my eye
My reward might be a river too deep
To swim from shore to shore
Forevermore adolescent
But for nevermore rejected

And if I was a whistling boy
In search of shameless joy
My fingers might fry in a flame too high
To jump from side to side
But I would not die
No, I would not die
No, I would not die

(Not I, I would not die)

If my mind I did employ
To obtain this elusive joy
My thoughts might sink in a well of ink
So black as to darken all my days
Oh, when will I act my age?
Act my age
Act my age
Act my age

Oh, when will I act my age?
Act my age
Act my age
Act my age
