Lyrics

Young Love

[Verse 1]

From the tick-tock, of the union shop

To the rock-rock, where the go-go stops

To the crack-crack, of the lipstick look

To the snap-snap pack of a brand new suit

Rock-rock

Crack-crack

[Chorus]

Young love

Young love

Young love

I rock-rock

Crack-crack

Young love

[Verse 2]

From the knock-knock, of the bang-bang boys

To the chalk-shock, of the glow girl's voice

To the deadlock, of the cinema suit

To the eight block dock on the concrete pitch

Knock-knock

Chalk-shock

[Chorus]

Young love

Young love

Young love

I knock-knock

Chalk-shock

Young love

[Verse 3]

To the hush-hush when the boys walk in

To the rush-rush of the chemical spin

To the dance-dance in a howling door

To the lunatic fringe in a white-hot car

Rock-rock

Chalk-shock

[Chorus]

Young love

Young love

Young love

I rock-rock

Chalk-shock

Young love
