There was a bird from Camden High Street
That hit the Thames just short of Battersea
And all the time it flew, it sang "Young Man Blues"
"Ain't got nothing in the world these days"
Just the world don't know it's true
So close
Days of rage
Oh us pioneers
If you ain't on your back taking it get out of here
And if somehow you do, you sing "Young Man Blues"
"Ain't got nothing in the world these days"
Just the world don't know it's true
So close
Keep us alive on forty-five
Don't let the wolves get anything
Keep us alive on forty-five
It may mean more than anything
