Stood on the corner of Nelson Street Like cats on a hot tin roof Looking for trouble, waiting not so patiently One pack of fags Two left Three people that think that they're the best Sat on a wall, four young men have been drinking Poor mum and dad are none the wiser But the entire road know what they were thinking And they don't take kindly to criticism But they can tell you their cousin went to prison Living for kicks Isn't that what it's always been about? Living for kicks The subconscious idea that's in everyone A boy and a girl walk down by the river As the world seemingly circles just for the two of them Had enough of the small talk and nervous laughter As they intertwine hands and confess their love She prays it ain't cheap so they can get along Living for kicks Isn't that what it's always been about? Living for kicks The subconscious idea that's in everyone And it's that something that we all know That has the potential to sway which way life goes Different kinds do it different ways But when it comes down to it we're just looking for the same old thing And from the day that we are born There's the question of "What do we live for?" Living for kicks Isn't that what it's always been about? Living for kicks The subconscious idea that's in everyone Living for kicks Isn't that what it's always been about? Living for kicks The finer meaning of what we do

Ran round with time in my pocket Little did I know there was a hole at the bottom Now I can't seem to be able to afford it Lost in the days of youthful commotions Time meant nothing to me Each day passing blissfully unaware It's not like what it means to me now As I feel the sand slipping faster through the hourglass Last call for the young and free You musn't be left behind Moving on in this world is compulsory The time will come when you've got to change your mind Time meant nothing to me Each day passing blissfully unaware It's not like what it means to me now As I feel the sand slipping faster through the hourglass Time meant nothing to me Each day passing blissfully unaware It's not like what it means to me now As I feel the sand slipping faster through the hourglass Time meant nothing to me But staying out until past sunset Time meant nothing to me But running around until we'd been everywhere Time meant nothing to me But walking home from school in the summers heat Time meant nothing to me But chasing the horizon down the street Time meant nothing to me Each day passing blissfully unaware It's not like what it means to me now As I feel the sand slipping faster through the hourglass
