Quickstep

Quickstep (written 4/77) I knew my youth couldn't last forever I knew some chords so I got the band together Sick of sleeping and beating up my mother Forget these luxuries, I've got myself another buzz Now you don't see me, now you do Pretty s oon you're going to see what punks can do I stole some tunes from the radio I lost my nerve but it didn't show I found some friends with a little faith Less money and no taste Now you don't see me, now you do Pretty soon you're going to see what pu nks can do But you've got to work at it, what a drag You've got to work, work, work, work You can't lag behind, lag behind, lag behind I want to get this gig over And I don't want to see it again But I don't want to go until it's over And I don't w ant to die in pain, die in pain 2-3-4! I knew my youth can't last forever I'll sing the words until I can't keep the band together no more Oh! to do the quickstep on a Saturday night And hunt like brave man with a flashlight Now you don't see me, no w you do Pretty soon you're going to see what punks can do The Adverts
