Adolescence Lyrics

Adolescence - Prefab Sprout
Prefab Sprout
Adolescence (2013)
(McAloon)
From: "Crimson/Red" (2013)
The chords on the recording are played using a sound called ?Fat Fifth?,
which adds the fifth to every note played, thus creating densely layered
chords which are difficult to reproduce on a guitar. I think what I've got
here is pretty close, but it is just a suggestion, of course.

Adolescence - what's it like?
(add9)
It's a psychedelic motorbike
You'll smash it up ten times a day
Then you walk away
It's moonlight on a balcony
(add9)
It's pure hormonal agony
Bad poetry. Its greeting card?
Will (the Bard)
Adolescence - why's it so?
(add9)
Ask someone else; how should I know?
It's a song I sang and then forgot
Too long ago
When I was a Romeo in love forever
Unable to forget some Juliet
Romeo (Romeo) - inconstant? Never!
It's knives flashing in fountains, poison
Capulets' letters that go astray
Molehills bigger than mountains
Your pre sat nav, learning to find your way

Adolescence - what's it for?
(add9)
It's for keeping your nerve-endings raw, while
Relay teams of fevered dreams
Escape each pore
It's moonlight on a balcony
(add9)
It's pure hormonal agony
Bad poetry. Its greeting card?
Will (the Bard)
Poor Romeo - in love forever
Unable to forget Juliet
Romeo (Romeo) - inconstant? Never!
It's knives flashing in fountains, poison
Capulets' letters that go astray
Molehills bigger than mountains
Your pre sat nav, learning to find your way
Adolescence can be rough
(add9)
I hope your heat-shield's tough enough
I hope that no-one dares to scoff
When you blast off
Adolescence, crimson red
(add9)
Fireworks inside your head
Are three time brighter than the sun
Girls - have some fun
