Live Fast Die Old

Live Fast Die Old - Frank Turner

I bought my soul back from the devil

And now I'm keeping it all to myself

I'm checking myself out of the program

Because I know what's best for my health

So why live the dream like you're running out of sleep

I'm not playing to pass time I'm playing for keeps

We only just started and you're throwing the fight

You'd rather burn out than fade away

Well why not both I plan to stay

So let's do this once and let's do it right

I used to act like none of this mattered

And I used to say "I didn't care"

That we wouldn't be doing this forever

But then the truth is that I was just scared

So you put up a front to protect yourself

But if we're down on the floor why get back on the shelf

You can't change your outfit once the night has begun

We've still got the fuel and we still have the fire

So me and you Jay let's never retire

Let's keep on making mistakes till we're done

It won't last so be bold

I'm gonna live fast and I'm gonna die old

Gonna end my days in a house with high windows

On the quiet shores in the South-West

So you sort the tunes and I'll bring the beers

And on my seventieth birthday I'll see you right here

And together we will watch the sunset

There's no one in my coffin there's nothing in my grave

And I'm tired of being damned I'd rather be saved

We can never sell out because we never bought in

And if they build it back up then we'll swing back

Through town and burn the whole thing down again

I'm gonna live fast and I'm gonna die old

Gonna end my days in a house with high windows

On the quiet shores in the South-West

So you sort the tunes and I'll bring the beers

And on my seventieth birthday I'll see you right here

And together we can watch the sunset

It won't last so be bold

Live fast die old

Choose your path show soul

Live fast die old
