Adolescence - Prefab Sprout

Adolescence — what’s it like?

It’s a psychedelic motorbike

You smash it up ten times a day

Then you walk away

It’s moonlight on a balcony

It’s pure hormonal agony

Bad poetry

It’s greeting card Will the bard

Adolescence — why’s it so?

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

You’re pre sat nav

Learning to find your way

Adolescence — what’s it for?

It’s for keeping your nerve endings raw

While relay teams of fevered dreams escape each pore

It’s moonlight on a balcony

It’s pure hormonal agony

Bad poetry

It’s greeting card Will the bard

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

You’re pre sat nav

Learning to find your way

Adolescence can be rough

I hope your heat-shield's tough enough

I hope that no one dares to scoff

When you blast off

Adolescence Crimson/Red

Fireworks inside your head

You’re three times brighter than the sun

Have some fun
