B-side of the "better be good to me" single

The rooms were so much colder then

My father was a soldier then

The times were very hard

When I was young

When I was young

I smoked my first cigarette at ten

And for boys I had a bad yen

I had quite a ball

When I was young

When I was young

When I was young it was more important

Pain more painful, the laughter much louder, yeah

When I was young

When I was young

I met my first love at thirteen

He was brown, and I was pretty green

I learned quite a lot

When I was young

When I was young

When I was young it was more important

Pain more painful, the laughter much louder, yeah

When I was young

My faith was so much stronger then

I believed in fellow men

I was so much older then

When I was young

When I was young

When I was young
